New Balance Fall 2010 576 Heritage Line

2010-10-31T06:03:00.000-07:00

Typically wear and tear on a sneaker makes you want to cop a new pair of shoes for that fresh out the box look but New Balance has launched this new Heritage Line that has a sort of dirty appeal to them. The New Balance 576′s have a special effect on the leather that makes them look a bit roughed up but it isn’t a turn off at all. Done in dark yellow or khaki green both sneakers feature a dirty upper that looks pretty cool if you ask us.

You better think twice before telling someone that you just got “those green Janoskis.” Maybe even three times, cos that’s how manyNike SB Zoom Stefan Janoski colorways have been mostly green this year. Following in the footsteps of Dark Army and Festive Green, the new Janoskis come in a deep emerald shade dubbed Forest Green. Leather laces and piping are done in different tones to add some depth, but the suede is already so rich you could get lost staring at it.

Nike Dunk Low Premium SB Eric Koston

With the Thai Temple joints delayed from an earlier reported April release date,
these Nike SB Dunk Lows have slipped under the radar. It’s kinda like forgetting Christmas or your birthday is today, then finding that you’ve received as a gift a modern interpretation of one of your grails. It remains to be seen if Koston’s first Dunk Low is revered on the level of some of the silver and pink box-era releases.
