Texas sneaker spot/blog Nice Kicks is gearing up for the release of their collabo with New Balance on the high end New Balance 1500 model. The occasion will be celebrated in fine fashion, with an in-store party at their brick and mortar spot in Austin, which should be a nice reprieve for the heads who are spending the evening waiting in line for the midnight release tonight. Following that, pairs will be available at their online shop tomorrow, December 16th, at 11AM CST, so that’s your best bet if you’re not currently in the Lone Star state. Stick with us after the jump for a more detailed look at the Nice Kicks x New Balance 1500, as well as a video detailing the inspiration behind them.
