New Balance 820 Black/Orange/Red

Just ran across this NB 820 over at Bingo Runner. Hadn't seen any news or blogs about it but if you click on the pic for a larger view you can see that it has some similar detailing to the New Balance "Elephant" pack that I posted about a few months ago. A nice looking, strong shoe. If the front upper was mesh or some other material then I'd really be all over this one.

New Balance offers a nod to the concrete and elephant textures being released by Nike lately. I like to see New Balance branching out and doing something streetwear related with a different silhouette. We see so many 574s and 1400s. This 820 is a welcome change. Hopefully they do more with this.
