Two American institutions, Boston-based New Balance and North Carolina-based streetwear boutique Social Status, have teamed up for a limited edition collaboration CM1600 sneaker. The aptly named sneaker, “Winter in the Hamptons,” features premium Cone denim, with pig suede on the upper, as well as nubuck for a classy, winter-inspired look. The leather details represent luxury yacht interiors; the dark denim pays homage to coastal winters; and the teal accents represent the ocean. The incorporation of Cone denim also plays the double role of paying homage to Social Status’s history as a premium denim brand. The Social Status x New Balance CM1600 “Winter in the Hamptons” will be available online and at all six Social Status locations on December 13.
