Concepts x New Balance Boston Marathon 998

When it comes to sneaker collaborations Boston retailer Concepts puts their heart and soul into each thematic shoe release. This time they are celebrating the spirit of their city with a Boston Marathon-themed drop that is absolute heat.

The New Balance 998 model is the silhouette of choice and is given a patriotic upper. Red, black and blue suede is met with white mesh for a very straightforward color blocking that feels as no nonsense as it gets.

Silver croc-embossed 3M accents along with a Boston 2016 embroidery on the heel finish off this momentous look in winning fashion.

Even if you’re not planning on running in the marathon you can still make a trip to Boston and cop a pair right now at Concepts for $220. If you can't do that, an online release is slated for April 18.
