Ronnie Fieg’s back catalog of Asics releases seems to get harder to track down with every subsequent release. JWDanklefs has decided to remedy that problem by porting over some of Fieg’s most treasured blockings onto a couple of Nike Air Max 90 customs. Serving as a sequel to http://nikefreerun30v5.weebly.com/ his Nike Air Max 90 ‘Leatherback’ is the Nike Air Max 90 ‘Salmon Toe’ shown here. The pair puts pink on the front end and under the Swoosh, with the rest of the sneaker picking up the proper navy and white sections to complete the equation. Get a better look at the Nike Air Max 90 ‘Salmon Toe’ after the jump and tell us in the comments if you approve of this JWDanklefs job.
The 574 is something like New Balance’s answer to Nike Sportswear’s Air Max 1, a classic runner at the foundation of the regular catalog whose impeccable lines and timeless appeal will keep them in the mix until we evolve past having feet. NSW has tinkered with the Air Max genome quite a bit in recent years, but NB tends to stay truer to their original vision. That means that on a pack like these New Balance 574 ’Gradient’ makeups, instead of a cutting-edge computer assisted fabrication, we get suede in analogous colors that each offer one delicious if tiny slice of the color wheel. Superb new blocking styles like these show that the NB574 still has so much to offer and you can decide which one looks best after seeing them individually below. They’re only available at the New Balance flagships in New York and Boston, which could make these US574s one this year’s sleeper hits for the masters of understated excellence.
