New Balance has been on top of their game when it comes to lifestyle kicks and the preview that has surfaced today looks promising for 2014. The first two kicks in the pic above have been drenched in solid uppers along with classic materials from NB like suede, mesh, and leather while an all white midsole and outsole create some super dope sneakers for the future. Taking it to the following two NB’s, you can see that the 580 can be done up with more of a classic NB feel with both shoes consisting of off-whites and blacks. Although all of these 580′s are dope, they unfortunately wont be dropping till next year. Let us know via our Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter if you’re be feeling these fresh NB”s for 2014. (more…)

Kicking it back to ’95, Fila has resurrected a signature classic, the Grant Hill 1′s. These notorious classics are near identical when it comes to the OG’s with perforated toe boxes, leather, suede, and the massive Fila branding that has been stamped on the outer heel of both shoes. While there is the white/navy pair, a murdered-out pair will be making an appearance as well. Both sneakers utilize the same materials and both are set to drop later this year. Let us know via our Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter if you’ll be copping these Grant Hill classics.

At one point it seemed like we’d never see the end of the 574 colorway rainbow, but these past few weeks have seen a slowed rate of releases. Though we’ve seen several new colorways for other models, it’s good to see a fresh new 574, this time in the intriguing Rugby Pack. Offered in four new colorways, the Rugby Pack sees these suede and mesh beauties get all-over swaths of grey, green, navy and red, all with unique contrasting elements via the collar accents and piping surrounding the logo. Set atop a color-blocked sole, these new 574′s are a great addition to any sneakerheads closet, offering a unique yet wearable pair of NB’s. Lucky for you, these bad boys have started to trickle out, and can be purchased now. For news on future releases such as these be sure to head over to our Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.  More photos after the jump.

It’s been awhile since we have seen a MT580 drop and today a super dope pair has surfaced that is set for New Balance’s Fall 2013 lineup. Suede, mesh, and hits of leather do this classic NB justice while a solid red outsole grounds this shoe out creating a sick pair for any time of the year. The majority of this Elite NB upper is coated in various shades of grey and black while hits of red on the laces, logo, heel tab, and rollbar technology create one of the better MT580′s we have seen for quite some time.  Let us know via our Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter if you’ll be copping these gems when they drop this Fall.
