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.

I really like them too but am afraid to look for a price

[louisbosco]

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..

[spitfiredealer]

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..

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..

many thanks!!!
Anyway  I‘ll keep an eye out!

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

[Anesthetist]

Those look great actually. I’d wear them.

Those are pretty fresh.

Just picked up a pair of Norda shoes. Light and comfortable with a decent off road sole. I am not a runner but these will be used for city breaks etc when racking up the miles exploring around. Norda are a Canadian brand, looking forward to seeing how I get on witht hem, so far so good.

I like the clean look of those sneakers. Thanks for posting, I’ll look them up on the web.

Olukai sneakers - they are very comfortable and look great.
