New Balance M998OG + ML999GP @ West NYC

The fallout of last year’s CNCPTS x New Balance 999 ’Kennedy’ hit release has seen a warm reception for this classic along with wider availability of new colorways here in the US, exactly the kind of momentum we’re hoping to see from the model that’s just one number different.  But the New Balance 998 has a significantly differnent silhouette than the NB999, so having both of them arrive in new editions offers a great opportunity to get schooled on these (almost) forgotten classics.  The 999s come in a tonal grey getup with purple accents, while the 998s opt for an earthy brown mix of suede and mesh.  Photos after the jump will make you more familiar with these relatively rare ‘Made in USA’ designs, then you can grab one or both of them from West.

K Way x New Balance 420

Their reflective, metal-infused-nylon and glass-bead-embedded material drops were the final straw for New Balance before they brought on DDC Lab’s co-owners as NB Lifestyle Creative directors, but we haven’t seen too terribly much of the model upon which these visuals debuted in the past few years.  But with a variety of NB classics finally earning some time in the sun, the New Balance 420 is a must, and these new colorways from Canadian raincoat manufacturer K-Way offer a quartet of looks that are just as fresh today as they would have been back when this model won 1982′s Runner’s World model of the year award.  All three are in stock now at select shops like Concepts and you can see them all up-close after the jump.

New Balance 751

The New Balance 574 is an established pillar in the sneaker game, having released in a million different colorways (must’ve been a quarter-mil for grey and navy each), introducing for online customization and serving as the inspiration to spinoffs and hybrid models like the H574 trail shoe or the recent HS77 barefoot-mimicker.  The latest branch off the NB574 family tree is the all-new New Balance ML751, a model that keeps that classic shape intact but goes for more modern lightweight and breathable synthetic materials to capture the end of the spectrum where the OG 574 is better left unaltered.  Click through to see this hunter orange pair and grab yours from Premier.
