While Concepts' New Balance collaborations often pull from the brand's American-made line, its latest taps the Flimby Factory in the U.K. for this tonal teal pair. The Concepts x New Balance 991.5 "Lake Havasu" references the partnership between the American store and the U.K. production facility with a colorway inspired by the relocated London Bridge in Lake Havasu, Arizona.
Equally important to the rich culture of Lake Havasu is its status as a destination for Arizona's frattiest of bros, although that part of its history isn't given its due on this footwear project.
The shoe has suede and nubuck uppers, reflective accenting, a Concepts lacelock, and a custom box.
The Concepts x New Balance 991.5 "Lake Havasu" will release on Jan. 19 at 11 a.m. EST exclusively online from Concepts for $250. The shoes will be available in men's sizes from 7 to 13.
