It appears ALMOND are working with New Balance once again, this time pulling in L.A. retailer Ron Herman as a co-designer. The American flag is featured prominently on the H574J’s heel panel, while the remainder of the shoe is finished in navy suede with white and grey accents. via HB

Not for the first time New Balance and Almond get together. This time they collaborated on the CM1500 and gave it a fresh summer look. The upper comes in white/yellow/orange/blue premium leathers with accents of mesh and black patent leather. The heel comes in a nice light grey tone, matching parts of the mid-sole. Finishing touches come in metallic gold. The sneaker is now available from Mita.

More detailed images of the New Balance x Almond CM1500 follow after the jump.

Not for the first time New Balance and Almond get together. This time, as part of the 20th anniversary of the 574, Almond chose to give the sneaker a felt upper and created a series of velcro patches that can be applied on the upper. The rest of the sneaker comes in premium black leather and it also features a sprinkled mid sole.

The New Balance x Almond M574J is now available at Mita.

Detailed images follow after the jump.

Once again New Balance joins forces with Almond. Previously we have already seen several collaboration sneakers between the two brands. This time it gets a little more interesting though.
The New Balance x Almond 574 comes in all black with most of the upper covered in velcro. Unlike with the New Balance x The Hideout collaboration, where only the New Balance logo could be interchanged, you can apply patches all over the sneaker in this case.
Along with the 574 sneaker, they also made two technical "Ninja" rain jackets, coming in a shiny black and matt black, both featuring subtle logo applications and technical materials. Via Colorfarm.
Expect a release of the pack this Fall.
More detailed images of both the sneakers and the jackets follow after the jump.

We have already seen some quite interesting New Balance releases this year along the 20th Anniversary of the 576. Here is now an interesting 574, labeled “Almond”. It comes in a green/pink colorway and features an array of materials, including suede, leather, patent and a softer material on the toe box. Stars are placed around the lace holes and on the back heel. The tongue features “For Love Or Money” embroidered.
These will be releasing at Mita on the 1rst of April. Have a detailed look at the sneaker after the jump.
