The Concepts x New Balance 496 “Regatta” will release this Saturday, November 15th, 2014. Concepts has been rather busy lately – from opening up their New York City shop on 225 Hudson Street to celebrating that arrival with a champagne-bottle popping inspired New Balance 997. Their NYC arrival has been as heavily as anticipated as any of their usual collaborative efforts, and with this New Balance 496 they’re taking their inspiration out to sea. With a vibrant red upper heavily contrasting a light blue mudguard, the Regatta motif nods at sailboats in a look that’s rather summer-y for mid-November. What do you think? The pair will be available exclusively at Concept’s New York and Boston locations as well as their online shop on 11/15.
