Sneaker Freaker have gotten together with New Balance to design a new pair of sneakers. They chose the eighteen year old 850 model, and gave it an upper consisting of real kangaroo leather, which is thinner and stronger than regular cow leather, and are more resistant to abrasions as well. So far, there’s no news on availability, but we’ll keep you posted. Poor Skippy. mash rating: 7/10
