New Balance Spring Releases




New Balance are mixin' it up in spring with a sprinkling of sparkling sneakers. Combining timelessly classic silhouettes with some rarely seen styles, spring will bring the 1300, 574, 576 and Pro Court into full effect. Released only every few years, the 1300 keeps thing cool in grey nubuck and a shimmering blue steel mesh, while the 576 goes for gold on the Road To London. The Pro Court is restrung true to the original in canvas and nylon, while the 574 returns in three bold new colourways. Keep an eye out for these dropping periodically over the coming months. Probably best to get from EBay.

Sig Zane for Kicks/HI x Vans Vault Makua to Makai Pack 

Sneakers have some sort of ‘inspiration’ behind them, and more often than not, it’s some kind of pop culture reference that reflects the nostalgic attention to detail that unites sneakerheads.  But in the case of this new Vans Vault Chukka Boot and Era, we’re seeing a design that has its roots in one man’s quest for a life in harmony with the natural world.  Kicks/HI teamed up with fellow 50th stater Sig Zane to bring to live the ‘Makua to Makai’ Pack that takes us from ‘mountains to sea’ with a couple of Zane’s distinctive patterns that connect us with Hawaii’s unique and beautifully holistic culture. 


Nike Air Force 1 iD Atmos

One of the highlights of the sneaker calendar is without question the introduction of elephant print to the Air Force 1 iD. Here we have a look at an Air Force 1 iD in an Atmos outfit, featuring elephant print, a white toe-box, a black mid-foot panel, and the bright turquoise blue Swoosh. Unfortunately, the original grey/black color combo of elephant print is no longer available (although a number of other elephant print colors are up for grabs).




The iconic New Balance 1300CL are one of a few sneakers that has a timeless design. The use of quality materials and craftsmanship will continue to make it sought after for years to come. This “Steel Blue” colorway of the 1300CL will stay true to their roots of producing quality products. The upper is equipped with a mixture of premium grey nubuck and mesh materials. It’s also equipped with an ENCAP midsole for maximum comfort. Price around £80

Of the six leather vintage Blazers Nike Sportswear has released over the past three-plus years, Size? are responsible for two-thirds.  Their slice of the pie grows a bit larger today with word of another exclusive colorway, this time on the Nike Blazer Low VNTG silhouette.  These are basically a chopped-down version of the HO09 drop that also paired Sail and black.  And just as their height is shorter, so is the supply, but as of right now this old school take on early 2012′s signature colorway is available at Size?
