New Balance’s Spring 2009 Line Hits WSA

New Balance footwear is showing at WSA in Las Vegas today, and the upcoming sneakers are a standout amongst an otherwise stagnant tradeshow. For 2009, the brand’s top-tier product focuses on tech-forward hits, including a Gore Tex MT580 pack, a 998 Zip Runner hybrid from Japan, a collection of premium Italian leather 991s with metallic cues from the European crew, and a Space Odessy 2001-inspired 996 from the Americas.

The first quarter of 2009 will also see the last installment of the NB 1300, so if you’re into that silhouette, make a note and plan on copping. Hit the jump for more photos of the product that will hit shelves in February 2009.

New Balance Goes Vintage

Sneaker heads had the screw-face on when Nike launched their vintage line, but apparently the brand was on to something. Converse, Puma, and now New Balance have all followed suit, hooking up classic silhouettes in an old-school steez.

The New Balance collection focuses on their 1970s-dated runner the 420, re-interpreted into a dusty aesthetic (see more models after the jump). Look for the throwbacks to hit Footlocker this July. $55, footlocker.com, newbalance.com
