As New Balance gears up to roll out 4 brand new colorways of their popular ML581 model next year beginning in January, fans of the heritage brand are in for a surprise as they’ve made one model from the “Global Integration Project” collaborative pack available early.

The mita sneakers x New Balance ML581 sneaker will lead the way with a sand colored upper that features contrasting color blocking along the toebox, tongue, sidepanel, and outsole. With the addition of this shoe’s mesh and premium leather materials and two-toned laces, sneaker enthusiasts will definately have their hands full when warmer weather finally comes back around.

Luckily, you won’t have to wait that long as the limited edition kicks are now available at Slam Jam Shop at a retail price of €95.00 EUR (approximately $123 USD).

While we reported the release of the Slam Jam x Nike Air Force 1 overseas, the collection is finding its way stateside. Proper of Long Beach, CA is among select U.S retailers who have released these Air Force 1s. If you missed our earlier posts, the project consists of four colors which feature wrinkled patent leather uppers complimented by white accents and embossing at the back heel. The red and grey models are now available at Proper now.

Italian retailer Slam Jam had collaborated with Nike earlier in the year on the Optical Force project. The project consisted of a four Air Force 1′s, one of them can be found above. The model pictured above is designed like the rest of the Air Force 1′s in the collection, it features a wrinkled patent leather upper, Slam Jam embossed heel logo and a perforated toe box. Aside from the red version pictured above, black, grey and yellow are other colors that can be found in the collaboration. As for the red model, it is now available at Hanon.

The Slam Jam x Nike Air Force 1 project was presented just a few days ago, here we have a detailed look of the sneakers that were designed by the Italian based store. The sneakers are made up of wrinkled patent leather and simple combinations of red, grey, yellow and black contrasted by a white swoosh and accents. Furthermore, the Slam Jam logo is embossed into the back heel, a subtle feature that distinguishes these Air Force 1′s from other similar looking models. The Slam Jam x Nike Air Force 1 will go on sale at select retailers soon. Via hb.
