Sneaker Freaker Honors The Extinct Tassie Tiger With Upcoming New Balance 997.5 Collaboration

Sneaker Freaker Honors The Extinct Tassie Tiger With Upcoming New Balance 997.5 Collaboration

Sneaker Freaker New Balance 997 5 Tassie Tiger 1

Three years ago, Sneaker Freaker unleashed one of the best New Balance 998 collaborations in history – a purple/grey/white concoction inspired by the “Tassie Devil”. Today, the Australia-based sneaker publication unveils an indirect follow-up to that classic with the “Tassie Tiger”, a dashing colorway of the New Balance 997.5 hybrid sneaker based on an attractive terracotta red color scheme. These shoes are a tribute to the extinct “Tassie Tiger”, an indigenous marsupial that has gone extinct nearly a century ago. The online release of these will go down on July 16th on the Sneaker Freaker webstore, with a special Friends-and-Family packaging being released at an in-store event on July 15th. Catch a first look here.
