Collaborating once again with New Balance is the Japanese brand named nonnative. We have seen these two brands collaborate last year and they are still up to something as ending 2008 comes to a near. This time the two will be using the New Balance 1700 model to makeover.

The team up of New Balance and nonnative this year has produced two color ways of New Balance 1700 which includes brown and black colors. The first sneaker above is presented in a black upper which covers almost the whole part of it except for the back area highlighted in brown color. This color way is also accented with white shoelaces as well as the white border on the logo. This also includes a white midsole and brown outsole. The second color way comes in a brown upper with beige accent on the back and white on the shoelace and midsole. This is matched with a grayish outsole. Both color ways include a suede upper with perforations on the toe box, side panels, and collars.

These two color ways of New Balance 1700 by nonnative is expected to come by December 2008. 

Once again, New Balance has collaborated with Solebox to makeover their 1500 sneaker. And as usual, this collaboration resulted to a very adoring sneaker with its simple but very elegant looking design and combination of materials.

This product of collaboration with Solebox made the New Balance 1500 a stand out among their other sneakers. This sneaker is made with mixture of suede, leather, and a cotton fabric material. The upper of this sneaker is dominated by a black color that can be found on the leather side panels and back area, and fabric toe box. This black upper is accented with the gray suede material found on front of the sneaker enhancing the black upper. This version is also called the Nazar Eye because of the eyeball embellishment on the shoelaces. Aside from the upper, this sneaker is also made with a contrasting midsole in all white and a reliable ENCAP gum outsole.

If you are up to this style, you can get a pair of this New Balance Sneaker 1500 Nazar Eye on November 22. You can also check its price on the same day of its release. 

The New Balance Luggage Collection was originally introduced on the third quarter of this year but it is only now that it has reached U.S. This collection includes the sneaker above which is just one of the three and may be the most attractive among them.

The sneakers in this collection are New Balance 580 which is designed with a special material that makes them part of the luggage material. New Balance has used a type of fabric which is also used to make quality nylon luggage. This fabric is like a mesh that covers almost the whole upper just leaving some space for the sole, collar, and tongue.

The upper of the sneaker which we are featuring above includes a gray color way with accents of orange on the New Balance logo on front and black on the tongue and collar. This sneaker also has a black shoelace. The sole of this sneaker is colored with metallic silver and black with patch of orange.

New Balance has done something very unique with their famous M574J sneaker in collaboration with Almond. They have created a new and personalized sneaker out of their M574 which will surely attract many sneaker heads.

This new M574 is created with a black upper which is very suitable for the feature that they added. The materials that were used to create this sneaker include premium leather, and a very unique Velcro. You may think that Velcro is just an ordinary material but what’s unique about this sneaker is how New Balance used Velcro as a material.

The Velcro can be found on the toe box area, side panels, and back area. The nice thing about this is, it allows you to put on any design that you want by strapping it. You can change the color of the logo, add some details such as the star shown above, you can even put there your name as long as you have it on Velcro. Anything you put on its upper will definitely match its sole that has a speckled white midsole and black outsole.

This unique version of M574J by New Balance is now available through online for as much as $263.00. It’s a reasonable price for a personalized and creative sneaker.

The new version of New Balance’s H574J includes simpler color ways of black and gray compared to the previous version where they used earth colors on the sneaker. Both color ways are so interesting with is composition of suede and meshed upper. The suede material covers the whole upper except for the toe box which is made of mesh. The meshed toe box serves as a freshener which allows the feet to breathe through it. The black color ay of H574J is matched with black and gray shoelace, gray insole, New Balance logo and midsole. The gray version has light gray shoelace and white outsole. Both color ways has the H574J word imprinted on their tongues.
