M670NTU. Norse Projects’ go at the 670 has come out looking even better in “real life” than in the product shots. The restrained predominant blues, the crisp white midsole and the combination of everlasting splendour & immediate mystery of that suede N - is it turquoise or toothpaste green or really real blue? Fantastic. Photo: Prince Jamal on CT
M998GRB. A killer pair of Made in USA 998 in a colourway far more suggestive of them being Made in England: a ruthlessly cohesive palette of greys with the occasional eggplant pop. Putting the suede where it will be safe and sacrificing the nubuck to the spot that will get mucky is also a brilliant move. Photo: Roulade in Spring
I’m not quite sure what model these are but they’re pretty incredible. I thought they were 997 but then that bit towards the back of the sole has me flapping about like a fish on the jetty of knowledge. Purple, grey and white - absolutely brilliant colourway and I can only imagine how great that suede looks in real life. Photo: Lemming on CT
650. Finding goodlooking high-top NB is no easy task but the New Balance Unlimited affiliate known as Lordmaster Waxe seems to have succeeded with great success. There is a lot of shoe in this picture and it’s all great. Photo: Waxe on Trendystep Paving
M1500MSB. The final collaboration between Solebox Berlin and New Balance, this burgundy nubuck heel’d 1500 was released alongside an updated version of the classic M1500GGB. Indelible proof that Hikmet knows what he’s doing. Photo: Soulclap on CT
M446. Here we have a vintage pair of 446 in the timeless colourway of white, navy and red. The material mix of nylon mesh, suede and leather can’t be argued with either. Always great to see another example of the 446 (a fantastic model that is yet to receive attention of hype proportions) looking hot. Tremendous thanks to Xclozx for making these happen.
