NB x SOLEBOX 1500 "Finals" @ QUBIC SAT 22/08/09
Following hot on the heels of the NB X Staple Design White Pigeon release, we've just received last minute news that this weekend will see the
first ever release of one of solebox's famed collaborative sneakers here in New Zealand.
Hikmet from Solebox Berlin and NB have enjoyed a great relationship over the years they have worked together, and I'm sure some of you will remember some of their most iconic NB collaboration shoes, like the Purple Devil. This shoe is a faithful recreation of their first ever shoe with New Balance, and evidently this is also going to be their
last shoe they will make with them, hence the name - "
Finals".
Only the
green colourway will be available, as the Maroon will be a solebox Germany instore exclusive.
Here are some close up pictures of the upcoming
NB x SOLEBOX Made in UK 1500, releasing tomorrow in store. It may come with a higher price tag, but you can really tell the difference between the
Made in UK models, even with the US made NB models by the premium materials and hand finished detailing.

Official Production Information:
Product: Solebox Berlin x New Balance Made in UK 1500 "Finals"
Arrival Date: Saturday 22 August 2009
Size Availability: US8 - US12
Retail Pricing: $360.00 inc. GST
The
NB x SOLEBOX 1500 "Finals" features a nubuck heel patch, a gum sole, and complete leather lining, and is a
made in UK shoe. Made in the same factory as the Provider NB 1500s which we released last year.
Remember, this is the last shoe
SOLEBOX is claiming to collaborate with New Balance on, and ironically, the first time one of their infamous projects has been available to the NZ community at retail level pricing, so please don't miss out on this opportunity.
World wide production figures are unknown at the moment, but we do know the red Solebox in-store exclusive is limited to only
350 pairs, so we imagine these aren't too much more, considering they are only releasing at a handful of stores across the globe.
