New Balance - 991
For this part of our 'Confederation Of Villainy' collaboration with New Balance, we decided to take a wander away from the beaten path, kindly trodden down for us by previous collaborators and play with performance favourite, the 991. Using black and grey suede plus green leather for the bulk of the upper, there's a blinding dash of flouro workwear fabric dropped in the mix as seasoning. New Balance kindly allowed us to incorporate a custom sole on this model, so the ABZORB midsole now blends in with the colours of its attached upper, while the outsole incorporates a neon green, lifting it from its usual stern appearance. The 'UK' panel on the heel now reads '991', there's a spot of contrast stitching to up the visual ante. Factor in the custom tongue label and white metal eyelet and we're pretty certain that the risk of entering unknown territory was well worth it, making a hi-tech product look even more forward-thinking. The BJ Betts illustrated box for this shoe pays homage to the mysterious highwayman, and one-time scourge of Bedfordshire, Black Tom with some beautifully executed packaging. And here's the important details in brief - 99 pairs. CT store only.
