UK retail powerhouse END will once again link horns with Boston’s New Balance, with the duo using elevated materials and understated colorways to create a carefully-considered nine-piece capsule dubbed the “Art of Nothing”.
A standout creation from the collection is these reinvented XC72’s. END. lends its keen eye to the sportswear brand and the duo put a spin on NB’s favored and sought-after 1970s archive-inspired design. Subtly altered, the sneaker is crafted entirely from off-white and grey suede – which is joined to a gum rubber sole for added contrast – and, promising optimal comfort, the pair come cushioned with molded EVA at the midsole, providing support during leisurely days out-of-office.
A release for the two END x New Balance XC-72 “Art of Nothing” releases and its accompanying apparel has officially been listed for February 26, with pairs releasing exclusively via raffle on END’s official website.
