New Balance introduces their Clips collection, which consists of the 574 in four colourways, each using materials left over from their US factories. Each pair is limited to only 120 pairs, equalling a total of 480 pairs. They’ve launched a campaign around the collection, and a website, 574Clips.com. For each shoe, a short film was shot resulting in a unique story for each shoe. To give an even more personal touch, a Polaroid of the shoe is placed into each box, and the size, colour and individual number of the shoe is written on the back. The shoes will begin arriving this month at only ten US retailers including Reed Space, Shoe Gallery in Miami, Bodega in Boston, Commonwealth, Premium Goods in Houston, St. Alfreds, Burn Rubber in Royal Oak, Sole Boutique in San Antonio, Goods, and Undefeated LA. mash rating: 5/10

So far, there’s no news on availability, but we’ll keep you posted. Poor Skippy. mash rating: 7/10
