CNCPTS x New Balance 999 "The Kennedy"
Concepts teams up with New Balance on the 999 silhouette for a sneaker they call the "The Kennedy". The sneakers are inspired by the Massachusetts sailing community and the late John F. Kennedy's love for sailing, featuring a nautical-inspired style that's ready to hit the open waters. Several shades of grey suede construct the bulk of the upper, combined with lesser amounts of khaki suede, white mesh and blue nylon.
Accents of red appear on the lace holders, which secure a pair of white and blue striped laces. CNCPTS is spelled out across the tongue in nautical alphabet flags and again in regular lettering on the insoles. The sneakers are scheduled to release tomorrow exclusively through Concepts in Cambridge Massachusetts. The primary colors of the shoes references the sea faring signposts which explicitly bears its mark in the semaphore pattern grid used in the foot bed. Phone orders will be expected on Monday, April 18th.
