Undefeated has joined forces with New Balance to design a new sneaker. The inspiration behind the New Balance Desert Storm 1500 is based upon military designs from the Gulf War. The light and dark brown panels with red and blue hits are colourways inspired from a Desert Storm operations patch. The premium suede fabrication of the shoe has been chosen to correspond with real army boots that were worn in the Gulf War. The chocolate-chip camo, which is found on the shoe bed, interior lining, and shoe bag, is a specification to commemorate the design’s introduction in the Gulf War. Each pair will be sold with a canvas shoe bag featuring utility camo print. The sneakers release May 1 for $120 at Undefeated in the US and Japan as well as select premium retailers worldwide. mash rating: 6/10

Update: the release date has been changed to May 15th.
