Finally dropping tomorrow is the long-awaited nonnative x New Balance CM997 “Dune”.

Decked out in shades of tan, the premium collaboration utilizes everything from suede and mesh to smooth and tumbled leather for a luxurious look on par with some of the best drops New Balance has ever put out.

The limited collab is set to release at select locations tomorrow, February 4, including SNS.

Just yesterday we were able to bring our readers a sneak preview of New Balance heat scheduled for a Spring 2012 arrival by way of the 581 model. Today’s bit of news sheds a little more light on the collaboration side of things for next Spring. Pictured here is the CM997, which the New Balance design team worked on with the help of Japanese retailer nonnative. This running model uses leather, suede and mesh along an upper that consists of different shades of brown for a rather smooth look. You can expect these to drop from participating New Balance retailers come January 7th of next year.

With all the boots coming from every direction, preparing for the coming winter season, New Balance had to get in on the action. NB teamed up with Japanese label nonnative to create two colorways for the NB H710. The nonnative x New Balance H710 Hiking Boot comes in grey and brown. The uppers use weathered suede to give the shoe a rugged earth tone look. The outsoles come equipped with spikes to sustain earth’s many terrains. Typical boot laces are added to make the look authentic. The NB logo is embossed on the side to complete this boot. It releases October 10th at select NB retailers.

Aside from their on-going collaborations with mita sneakers and realmadHECTIC, New Balance will be teaming up once again with Japanese brand nonnative to release the 1700. The two keep the 1700 simple where a soft suede upper and contrasting accents make up the classic model. The 1700 is available in either navy/brown or tan/grey, subtle combinations of dark and light colors. The set of 1700s are scheduled to hit select retailers including Tokishirazu sometime next month.
