When you first gaze upon this latest New Balance collaboration, you might have the vague impression that you’ve seen them before, and yet, there haven’t been any new 1500s quite like this before. That’s because the first time we saw the Crooked Tongues x New Balance M1500s, both pairs were laid out in their raw materials, unstitched and unassembled, vaguely reminiscent of the various Air Jordan sculptures that were circulating last year. But those familiar with the 1500 could already see what those ‘instructions’ were pointing toward, these new pairs relatively heavy on both leather and contrasting colors from a model best known in its OG grey suede edition. Have a closer look at a bunch of images after the jump and expect these at Crooked Tongues on October 15th with select distributors worldwide getting theirs in the following week.
