We’re wrapping up 2015 and with just two weeks to go, we’re seeing some incredible collaborations trickling out and forcing sneakerheads everywhere to re-think their “Best Of” lists. Whenever Concepts works on a pair of New Balance runners, the Cambridge-based shop demands our undivided attention and the upcoming “Grand Tourer” is no exception. Inspired by the store’s branching out into multiple locations, this New Balance 998 silhouette features a masterful mix of colors that do the legendary model plenty of justice. A rather technical detail in the carbon-fiber heel counter gives these an even more unique twist, while the black concrete insoles suggest a street-ready vibe. The Concepts x New Balance 998 “Grand Tourer” is expected to release on Saturday, December 26th at Concepts’ three locations in Boston, New York City, and Costa Mesa as well as cncptsintl.com. A full unveil is just ahead.
