Boston-based retailer Concepts connected with New Balance and they dug in the latter’s vaults to breathe some new life into the CM496 model. This “Pool Blue” colorway of the OG sneaker is a definite stand out.
The CM496 Pool Blue’s look—a full cow suede upper splashed in turquoise and red—is a nod to Bean Town’s Charles River and its boating events. But even if the closest you get to the water is lobster roll, you can still appreciate this shoe. The gumsole also helps the cause.
It will be available Friday, Nov. 21 at Concepts Cambridge, Concepts New York and cncpts.com for $130.
