Air Classic Nintendo...

This Air Classic BW utilizes the subtle color theme of the original NES (Nintendo controller). The light grey mesh upper is accented by a red underlay, while the tip and backstay is a darker grey print of what looks like a repeating pattern of the NES control pad. Add the black midsole, and you have yet another clean look for the often overlooked Air Classic BW. Oh, and don’t overlook the subtly placed “START” near the upper eyelets

New Balance 420...

New Balance and DDCLAB colab to create the "New Balance 420". This sneaker is created in a special Schoeller-Reflex material comprised of microscopic pieces of glass beads. The result is an ultra brilliant and reflective material which also features a strong protection against the elements and scuffs and offering visibility up to 100 meters (approximately 328 feet) away. So basically if someone takes a picture of your sneaker its going to glow like a reflector! Nice for the footwork if you ask me...
