New Balance X Almond collabo #2

New Balance offer one of their best colorways of 2009 (so far) to a collaboration project alongside designer fashion label Almond. Almond and New Balance released my original "holy grail" sneakers with the "for love or money" collabo a few years ago and they've hit the ground running once again with this one. Utilizing the well-received 1500 model, the sneakers are a nice balance of colors in buttery suede panels along with white mid-soles and gum bottoms (mmmm gum soles!). There is no word yet on a release date, but the sneakers will be tagged for Approx. $302. Hopefully we will see a US release.

Lazy Snags his Holy Grails - The New Balance 574 Almond "For Love Or Money"

Hell Yeah!! I never thought I would have these kicks! I was surfing on ebay and saw these come up in my size at an unbelievable price. This was a limited Japan only release. Pink/Gold/Black colorway. Star eyelets, and gold widgets on the laces. Embroidered "For love Or Money" logo on the tongue, and three stars on the heel make the detailing superb on this 574. Plus the materials are top notch. Worth every penny. For all you sneaker heads out there, think back to a time when you came up on some joints that you never thought you'd ever have. Those fantasy, dream kicks that you'd resigned yourself to only ever talking about but never actually wearing . Then you can rejoice with me because these are some pick ups that I never thought I'd have and that I new I'd always dream about. Finding these is what collecting is all about for me. I am so happy right now!!!
