Mic Terror "Hiooo" single Flosstradamus RMX
Stripped down, Chicago as hell, and ready for cars and i-pods alike, Little Owl recordings( the folks who brought you DEV) presents: "Hiooo" a new single by the black Bart Simpson himself, Mic Terror.
Check out: "Hiooo" flosstradamus rmx
"Hiooo" original (I kinda dig the original more...)
A bit about Mic Terror:
"Hiooooooo!" When you hear this signature call you know that it means a good time. You know it means juking, drink and good music,you know that it means debauchery madness and all around fun, you know that it means Mic Terror. Mic is the next big thing to come out of Chicago rap. He is a rapper who rhymes with rapid-fire punch lines, startling accuracy, and big enough balls to say what's on his mind. Mic is preparing to take the world by storm, armed with a new school style and old-school swagger and a presence that is all his own.

New Balance M1500RBB Spring 2011
Yet another interesting New Balance release for Spring 2011. I really like this eye-catching colorway! The M1500 RBB Made in England comes beginning of January in a solid OG colorway, with nubuck and mesh uppers. These are now up for pre-order from End.
La MJC x colette “Vivre Sans Temps Mort” New Balance 1500
I am getting this while I'm in France...Period!
Paris creative agency La MJC and colette got together with New Balance to create the “Vivre Sans Temps Mort” 1500 sneaker. The slogan used for the sneaker is one of the core slogans of the agency since the very beginning and describes a state of mind that is restless. The upper of the sneaker comes in a nice red/white/grey combination, using lots of premium leathers and mesh. Produced in the Flimby factory in the UK, the sneakers will be released at colette and in the Cool Cats online store December 18th.
Highs & Lows x New Balance 577 “Night & Day” Pack
After emerging onto the international sneaker scene with a collaboration with Reebok, Highs & Lows (HAL) now team up with New Balance on a two-pack of sneakers dubbed Night & Day. The Day 577 is inspired by the beach, lazy barbecues and the city’s blue skies and golden sun. For the Night 577, a stealthier package was the basis with black full-grain leather and raw nubuck with 3M detailing. I'm a total sucker for a cool insert too and the sun and moon inserts on this pack take the cake! A release is set for April 2010. Just in time for my birthday...
New Balance x Hectic x Mita MT580 ‘10th Anniversary’
It has been 10 years since this collaboration started up. For a while there it was very much the icon of New Balance within sneaker culture, since it's spawned numerous other colabs in Japan and around the world. Sad to say the New Balance USA versions have never lived up to their international counterparts or my own expectations. But I still love this Hectic X Mita X New Balance MT580 series. This special 10th anniversary version comes in a bold blue and yellow, and is available online at Hanon.
Nonnative x New Balance CM1500 “Coyote”
Here is the new Nonnative x New Balance CM1500 “Coyote." The running shoe will drop in Japan on January 3rd at Tokishirazu and other select retailers. I have to admit I'm not sure what all the fuss is about. It kinda reminds me of a simpler version of a previous New balance design and colorway. But the interwebs seem to be goin crazy for this sneaker so here it is.
New Balance X Huf 205 and snowboarding boot
New Balance MT580 Gore-Tex
I have to admit that the MT580 has lost some of it's luster over the last few years for me. That has little to do with a quality release like this one and everything to do with the inept and downright cheap approach that New Balance USA has taken to marketing it's wide releases. Bad design, lame colorways and all around cheaply manufactured materials have marred what had once been New Balance's premier Sneakerhead silhouette. And yes, I am talking about the initial American rollout of the MT580 in the states. They fucked it up big time! So much so that I know of more than one New Balance shop that simply chose to stop carrying anything other than technical runners and cross trainers from their own brand! Here's hoping that going forward in 2011 New Balance can regain some of that quality and bring the MT580 back stronger than ever.
An internationally popular model in the New Balance stable of sneakers, the MT580 Gore-Tex shoe has earned its following over the years, and this new Gore-Tex model is sure to continue that trend. A mix of solid and perforated leather on the uppers and a natural gum-rubber sole (I love gum soled shoes!!) with contrasting linings, this shoe has a lot going on.
Available February 2011 at Mita.
New Balance 574 Sonic Spring/Summer 2011
The New Balance 574 Sonic, a “sonic welded” version of their iconic running shoe, uses heat and pressure to seamlessly fuse the sneakers’ panels together. For Spring/Summer 2011, the shoe comes in new off-white and maroon colorways. Pre-order from End for a February release.
New Balance M564
New Balance mix things up with these sleek M564s. Featuring a one-piece perf toe that pops off in plush suede, the heel is held firm thanks to a unique wrap-around ribbon that forms the upper eyelets. as seen in Sneakerfreaker issue 20

NEW BALANCE X LIMITED EDT M577BST
Singapore’s premium sneaker boutique Limited Edt Vault have killed it again with this second collaboration, the M577BST. This shoe isamazing! The M577BST is a sequel to their previous 577 collaboration, and was created in New Balance’s legendary Flimby factory in Cumbria, England.
This release is significantly more eye-catching than the first drop, featuring the finest premium materials and a head turning colorway. The upper features full grain, crocodile skin embossed and cracked chrome leather! The sole and upper show a scintillating turquoise blue detail that immediately caught my attention, a striking color that effectively offsets the sneaker's black, chrome, and brown colorway. The Singapore Limited EDT Vault release of the M577BST will only have 180 pairs stocked.
Now if the design and colorway of this shoe alone wasn't enough to warm my little sneaker collecting heart; each edition of the Singapore release will come in a royal blue velvet jewel shoebox!! Each box is individually numbered and comes with the M577BST, money bag(dust bag), vault lace locks and a special hang tag that allows each customer VIP access into Limited Edt’s Chamber room, which houses a collection of the rarest sneakers for sale at Limited Edt Chamber, their newest outlet that opened at Marina Bay Sands Shop in Singapore. A special micro site has been created for this New Balance collaboration, so head over to www.vault577.com for videos, photos and more information on the kicks.
The M577BST will be released in Singapore on the 12th of November, 2010.
The release will be an appointment only affair. Heads will have to call Limited Edt Vault in advance and set up a fitting time at the shop! Be prepared to be treated like a king!
Experience a sneaker release like no other including freebies, installations including how the NB 577 BSTwas made, a UK factory exhibition to give you an insight on what is so special about the shoe while you enjoy some English tee and bites on us, Get your feet measured, enjoy screenings, get to handpick your pair/number of choice form the Chamber and enjoy a host of priviledges - we can go on an on but we want to save some surprises. - no lines, no queueing just make your appointment time.
It will be released globally at premium sneaker stores on the 20th of November, 2010.
And I want to take a quick second to again thank my friend Eric for the hook-up on this release. Go check out his store FLIGHT CLUB in NYC for all the dope shoes you could ever wanna rock! THANKS ERIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!
