Via its iconic 581 style, New Balance is collaborating with four boutiques worldwide–Mita Sneakers in Tokyo, Kasina in Seoul,  24 Kilates in Spain and Bodega in Boston, Mass–with each one choosing materials and colors that tell a story about their stores. The 581 x Bodega shoe featured here was inspired by ’90s ski jackets. These should hit retail in about a month.

This Nike boot, newly available at Mita-Sneakers, wouldn’t be my No. 1, go-to winter boot, but I could definitely see making it a part of a regular rotation. And it works the back-to-the-land look perfectly for people who can’t deal with fringe.
