New Balance 576 Crooked Tongues Special Edition

I've posted about these about a year ago and I finally had the opportunity to get my hands on 2 of the 4 colourways. Like I mentioned back then it was very hard hard to get a pair in this size when they released, but to still be able to get two pair in dead stock condition 6 years later was a very pleasant surprise.




These New balance 576's were released in 2004 in a special collaboration with Sneaker website Crookedtongues.com. There were only 50 pairs released per colourway, so the chances to get a pair were very limited. Even now it is still hard to track down any pictures or solid info on the release it self. Therefore I've tried to re-create the colourways in Photoshop templates from the picture that I have from the book 'Sneakers: The Complete Collectors' Guide.

Puma Basket Custom

The Base shoe is an early 2000s Basket. Really nice shoe, but I'm not a big fan of white leather, so decided to tweak them a little.




Glued and stitched some foam (from a sponge:) on to the back of the tongue for some padding and it also makes the shoe fit better and add something to the overall shape.


The result on foot


Didn't bother with all the branding, I could've stitched the tongue label back on, but they are a custom and I'm planning to wear them so you wont see it anyhow.
