This weekend sees the release of the New Balance x Crooked Tongues limited edition 1500 model for the first time to U.S. residents.

The two 1500 models feature premium quality materials, not that we expected any less from New Balance, including tumbled leather, mesh and nubuck. Unique color blocking has been utilized to show off their beauty from the multi paneled constructed uppers.

Less than 250 pairs will be released Saturday, November 12th, at CNCPTS, Reed Space, West NYC & UNDFTD.

Coming this October, Crooked Tongues and New Balance will be dropping a new collaboration.

Sporting colorways inspired by their first collaboration from 2004, the Crooked Tongues x New Balance 1500 “Made In England” pack features one pair done up in white/lime/green and another in black/orange/grey.  These 1500s feature a premium combination of smooth and tumbled leather, nubuck, and mesh on the uppers in a clean color blocking scheme.

This timeless 1500 collaboration drops October 15 via Crooked Tongues.

Crooked Tongues is one of the more familiar names in sneakers based sites and are featured in the latest issue of Format Mag via an interview involving two people who run the site, Gary Warnett and Charlie Morgan.

The two discuss what sets them apart from all the other blogs and how they offer a variety of material about sneakers including an extensive store section that sell some of harder to find sneakers. Aside from the online shop, Crooked Tongues has been linked with a few major sneaker companies which justify why they are one of top sites.

Yet another sneaker from the adidas AZX Collection has popped up on the message boards. The most recent model includes Crooked Tongues, a popular site that has an extensive inventory in their online store.

Utilizing a simple color-way of grey, black, and yellow, colors are placed and used in the right way as well as the materials, definitely on point. A picture perfect representation of Crooked Tongues traditional colors and look. Expect this ZX 9000 to be released in the third series. Via Crooked Tongues.
