Tasmanian Devil-Inspired Sneakers

New Balance and Sneaker Freaker Joined to Create a New Design

— February 23, 2018 — Fashion
New Balance and Sneaker Freaker recently collaborated to come up with the 'Tassie Devil.'

The sneakers are outfitted in a soft but durable suede material, which is colored a dark hue of rich purple and charcoal. Lilac-colored accents mark the heels of the sneakers, and the design is finished off with cream soles, which have black speckles in some areas, and lilac teeth-like markings in others.

New Balance's classic N logo is featured on the sides of the uppers, as well as on the tongues. On the tops of the toes, slight perforations are included on the material, making the New Balance and Sneaker Freaker Tassie Devil a little more breathable and comfortable.
