It's not often that sneaker collaborations are still in stock after release weekend, especially if it's something as dope as a Made in U.S.A. New Balance, but Premier's Ford Model T inspired special makeup is one of these rare cases.

The Premier x New Balance 998 has been restocked in select sizes on the shop's website. Although a collaboration between a skate store on a retro lifestyle New Balance model may be unexpected on paper, it works well with a muted palette and the quality materials we've come to expect from the heritage sneaker brand. The majority of this 998's upper dons a black suede, while a tan toe box and accents represent the colors found on the classic car. It's nothing flashy, but that's exactly what makes it so good.

If you missed out on the initial drop, there's still a good range of sizes available now from Premier for $220. Don't sleep this time.
