Japanese streetwear label nonnat5e bookended 2011 with a couple of tonal brown suede New Balance classic runners, the first of which was a ‘Coyote’ CM1500.  The golden nappiness on that pair may have been a bit over the top for some, so here’s another Japanese-born collabo that splits the difference between those wild animals and the time tested OG appearance.  The United Arrows x New Balance 1500 goes with the smooth, velvety suede Nike Free Run Shoes NB loyalists have come to know and love, their sandy brown upper considerably softer than the aforementioned pair.  These are also more eye-catching than the ‘Coyote’ edition when you utilize the orange lace set, a bright accent that, similar to the recent Beauty & Youth CM1700, implies you could swap in a huge variety of different colors if so inclined.  Click through to see the ones with which they’ll be shipped late next month and stick with Sneaker News for updates.

The year is young and the Nike Air Max 90 has already been branching out quite a bit, suiting up in different materials left Nike Free Run 3.0 V2 and right. We saw Nike Free Dynamo a denim drop a month back, and now a duo of canvassed releases are on their way. Following the obsidian pair is something a bit more inconspicuous, the black/medium grey version shown here that uses a shadowy m6.0ture for the upper. With the more traditional suede and mesh runners sticking with the popping colors, lifestyle looks like this are coming through with the understated combos. Hit the jump to check out this Nike Air Max 90 and you’re feeling them then head to Titolo to grab a pair.
