Indy Straps x New Balance Collaboration
New Balance is releasing two new lines of sneakers- a custom design service and a collaboration with J.Crew- and commissioned a run of 40 straps from me to celebrate the release. The straps were made in two colors, light and dark gray suede, and both are premium American-produced hides.
These straps went to the creative teams of New Balance and J.Crew, as well as magazine and blog editors. This was a very exciting project for me to work on, and it was great to go the sneaker release party in Manhattan, where the straps had a great reception.
Check out some pics of the straps, and a few pics I took of the sneaker release party.
P.S. I have a limited amount of leather left over from the project, so if you'd like one of these awesome straps look at my ad: viewtopic.php?f=56&t=8456&p=140285#p140285

Re: Indy Straps x New Balance Collaboration
damn sweet deal David. so how did you pull a gig like that? and NB's are some my favorite sneakers out there. they have kind of a retro but chill look to them.
those straps looking amazing too. I bet your hands have to wore out after making all of them.

Guess who's wearing NB's now D

What? more shilling?
Congratulations! Getting a hook-up like that is super cool. Because they can be ordered in different widths, I often recommend them for patients with large extremities. And now you can buy some shoes to match?

Re: Indy Straps x New Balance Collaboration
Thanks for all kind comments guys!
A couple of you asked how this came to be- New Balance heard through the grapevine about my work and contacted me out of the blue. It was very surprising and exciting.

Re: Indy Straps x New Balance Collaboration
congrats and cool straps!!!
Looks like a great event, I love my NB.
They fit me best and most comfy too.
Superb kicks, now with kick ass strap.
I'd love to see them on some watches.
