Cool Hunting
The fourth and latest edition of New Balance's quarterly Super Team 33 (ST33) collection, available in three exclusive designs, was designed by the Asia Pacific Team. (The first quarter was U.S.-designed, the second was developed by Japan and the third by the Europe, Middle East, Africa.) The 1400 model serves as the canvas again, this time for a theme inspired by the natural elements (wood, water, earth, metal and fire).
Each design reflects one of the elemental concepts, for example, the "Earth and Wood" version is mostly brown with distinctive tree patterns strewn throughout. "Fire and Metal" features a bold black and red design incorporating metallic embroidery and a silver insole and the "Water" model has a blue and white with a transparent outsole with some small water bubble details.
Extremely limited and keeping in line with the collection's name, like always, the shoes will be sold at only 33 retailers globally and each store will only stock 24 pairs of each style. They will be available for purchase beginning 20 October 2007 for $200.

Inspired by homemade publications, this limited-edition series of New Balance 1400s, called "Fanzine," is designed by NB's European team. It's the third and latest collection from their Super Team 33 (ST33) line, named for the 33 artisans who hand make the shoes in Skowhegan, Maine. A print evoking black-and-white photocopies that lines the socklining (and also shows through a translucent sole) features text that...
At the New Balance factory in Skowhegan, Maine, production line team number 33 is made up of the 33 top associates in terms of both skill and commitment.

This is a special version of the third in Microzine's New Balance Stingray trilogy, concisely called "F**ked Up." Based on a 576, the Stingray III is made of navy leather with special stingray fabric accenting the logo and heel tip. As the name suggests, they are then literally f**cked up by New Balance so they arrive with that pre-scuffed—yet new—look. The box has been...

This past weekend at a Los Angeles High School, Kobe Bryant unveiled his fourth signature sneaker in the Nike Zoom collection. What sets this shoe apart from the rest is the fact that it's a newly designed low-top for use in a sport traditionally played in high-tops. Although high-tops help prevent ankle sprains, the fact is most ankle support comes from a sturdy base...
