Last saturday Dutch sneaker and street wear store Lijfstijl released a special collaboration colourway of the New Balance 577. Lfstl decided to use a cockroach (kakkerlak) as inspiration when creating their new New Balance collabo.
Inspired by their hometown, the guys produced the 577 'cockroach' as a homage to Rotterdam, a city with many contrats in architecture. Grey, black and white are regularly used colours in all Rotterdam buildings. Petrol indicates the industry and harbour, but also the river that runs through the city and divides it in two. Purple translates innovation in architecture and Rotterdam's open-minded character.
The end result is classy and rather more subtle than such a volatile mix would indicate.

We drove to Rotterdam on friday evening and the camp-out already started ! I was number 15 in line. The first guy arrived at 8am friday morning !
Besides the dutch people, some campers came from France and Germany.
I finally got my pair after 12 hours in line, it was very cold but well worth it !
Shoe & Sneakerstore TARMAK opened in the end of August 2007. We carry Nike, Adidas, Reebok, Puma, Vans, among others. Besides kicks we also have a wide range of belts, New Era caps, watches,...
