FootLocker is one of the most well-known sneaker retailers in the world, with stores in pretty much every major shopping area you might find yourself in. This week, the store has teamed up with New Balance to release the expansive “Craft Work” collection.
New Balance’s commitment to small, SMU projects with various retailers brings us a wealth of special colorways each season. SMU ( special make-up) releases are colorways handpicked by the stores, and are available exclusively through their storefronts. These releases drop the extra level of details provided in a collaboration, including co-branding, and instead are offered to stores as a way to release limited-edition product without too much investment.
This week, FootLocker has released their latest SMU with New Balance, the “Craft Work” collection. The series features a range of models, though all six pairs are united by their color schemes, which lean heavily on neutral tan shades paired with accents in a burnt orange “Copper” tone. The 9060 appears to be the flagship model here, available in three different color schemes, one of which adds special Sparrow green N logos. The rest of the series is made up of the 725, the recent 740 retro, and fresh take on the 2002R.
