      I almost drowned them in Obenauf's Leather Oil trying to darken them but the exterior stayed the same only developing some weird marks. The leather interior darkened very nicely though and they've become very soft and comfortable. They used to bless me with blisters after some wear but now they're extremely comfortable and supple. I also swapped the laces and this is how they look after some on/off wear now. Love them!

        Been looking around for some low-top sneaks like converse or vans that DON'T split where my foot bends. Does the vulcanized sole of some brands like Pottery and Moonster solve this issue?

            to my experience ALL vulcanized cup soles seperate and fall apart at the bend areas with use.
            Go for stitched ones - IMO the only solution to prevent this…

                Was looking at them. But price tag seemed steep. They look nice there.

                  Are they a new release?

                    It’s a smart collaboration for sure, both in terms of marketing and the end result. I think the price tag for that kind of work is always going to be higher, whether it is justified or not. I really like these.

                        they're USD250. which for a pair of made in america NBs are pretty standard plus the fact that it is a red wing collab (regardless of what their input is) Converting them to AUD at the current rate however, is the major killer.  😢

                        way back when, red wings was my first foray into raw denim and boots and new balance was one of the first few sneaker brands i liked. back then, it seem almost impossible to mix the rugged look with sneakers much less these two brands coming together. seeing the news release, i knew i had to jump on them immediately..

                          Yeah can completely see why you got them. I was thinking of getting them for same reasons.

                          NB’s price tag seems to jumped a lot recently. Or maybe I am just getting old and remember when sneakers weren’t £200.

                            somewhere in my memory bank has always remembered them at about 220 - 250USD. i could be wrong. but it's been some time since i've bought a pair of new balance..

                              Tried to find them at a retailer in Europe, no efforts so far  😞
                              Looking for size 13.5 or 14…
                              Any idea anybody?

                                europe retailers sold out pretty quick. they are usually my go to since i get a better exchange conversion minus VAT plus quicker shipping. i tried sneakers france (SNKRS fr) and sneakers and stuff (SNS) but they both went pretty quick. so had no choice but to buy it from todd snyder. but they're gone now too i believe..

                                this release seemed like a pretty quiet one.. not much fan fare nor hype around it.. couldn't find what other retailers had them too apart from the advertises snkrs fr and sns..

                                    Converse x Offspring collab relaunching next month, never saw them first time round. Think they look sweet!
