The New Balance 580 Burn Rubber is built on one of the most classic New Balance silhouettes. The sneaker is lined with a sleek orange, gray and black argyle in homage to the shop colors of Burn Rubber. Key features include: white patent heel and tongue labels, reflective grey foxing, and a customized hang tag featuring the shop’s mascot, the Chef. (Via HypeBeast)
Rapper x sneaker collaborations are nothing new at this point, but historically, there have been a lot more misses than hits. Last year, Kanye West’s Nike Air Yeezy defied the odds and raised the bar for future entertainer-designed sneaker endeavors, and now producer extraordinaire Swizz Beats takes his own stab at the shoe design game. In a team-up with Reebok, Swizz has helped whip up a brand new sneaker that is sure to turn a few heads when it hits retail in 2011. The shoe sports a high cut with clean lines and an extra high tongue featuring a king-size Reebok “R” tongue label, but the standout feature has to be interesting midsole design, featuring a Zig-ish pattern that creeps almost halfway up the midsole towards the rear of the shoe.
