New Balance US drops official info about their first collab with Undefeated. From the press release:

The inspiration behind the New Balance Desert Storm 1500 is based upon military designs from the Gulf War. The light and dark brown panels with red and blue hits are colorways inspired from a Desert Storm operations patch. The premium suede fabrication of the shoe has been chosen to correspond with real army boots that were worn in the Gulf War. The chocolate chip camo, which is found on the shoe bed, interior lining, and shoe bag, is a specification to commemorate the design’s introduction in the Gulf War. 1500s feature embroidery detail on foxing and tongue of each shoe and collection call out on shoe insole.

The New Balance Desert Storm 1500 will be available beginning on May 1 at select Undefeated retailers.

UPDATE: These will be released on May 15th, Armed Forces Day

After giving you a teaser of the upcoming Solebox x New Balance 1500 sneakers, we give you a real look today. Entitled "Evil Eye" the sneaker keeps a classic look, coming in mostly black with grey suede details. On the laces you find the "evil eye", which is a strong symbol in the Turkish culture and is supposed to turn evil looks away from you.

24 Kilates once again joins forces with New Balance. For their first collaboration a couple of months ago, on the New Balance 1700, the store was inspired by Antoni Gaudi. This time another famous Spanish artist got them inspired – Joan Miro.
"Regarding the features, it’s important to point out that Miró has two distinctive subjects: his surrealism and the use of the basic colours of the whole spectrum. We decided to manipulate those colours but using a black background, taking in consideration the surrealism mentioned above. The shoe, which combines perforated leather and suede, reaches its harmony when it’s seen from a distance. The attractiveness of this sneaker comes from a mixture of basic colours and surrealism – a mixture that provides its own sense for itself." Via Sneaker Freaker.
The sneaker will be released Spring 2009, around the end of January.
Have a look at detailed images after the jump.

Pictures of the New Balance x Solebox Toothpaste Pack have already been floating around a while ago, now Sneaker Freaker properly presents it.
The pack consists of two New Balance 1500’s, each using a nice mix of premium suede, mesh and patent leather. The list of details on these is long. Solebox understands very well designing hot New Balance sneakers that are special, but at the same time they do not go too crazy and the final product is always still wearable and easy to match. Same with the Toothpaste pack – nothing that you have ever seen before, but still solid sneakers. There is still no exact release info, but we’ll keep you posted.
Many more detailed shots after the jump.
