New Balance M1500 “Crooked Tongues” Review
Description
New Balance and Crooked Tongues, which unfortunately closed its online retail doors in 2015, know how to release a collab piece that consumers love to cop. Introduced in 2011, these kicks are the follow-up to the two brands’ previous project in 2006. As always, both delivered. The New Balance M1500 "Crooked Tongues" made in British brand’s England factory, comes in a warm blend of white, dark green, and lime on nubuck and leather construction. Coming through in the well-liked and trendy 1500 silhouette, this conception is a solid pair of sneakers, providing ample support and stunning artistic design.
