In this day and age where online music streaming is more prominent than it ever was before, the music industry has been impacted greatly by people opting for free methods such as Spotify or Youtube. Back in the day, nothing was more exciting than purchasing physical recorded copies of your favourite bands such as cassette tapes and vinyl CDs. With that said, Californian independent record store Amoeba Music, founded in the 90s, survived the downfall of CDs and continues to remain in operation with establishments in Berkley and San Francisco. Now to celebrate the grand opening of their new Hollywood branch, Amoeba has teamed up with online sneaker blog and boutique Nice Kicks, also residing within the Bay Area, and renowned sportswear giant New Balance, to bring forth the Nice Kicks x Amoeba Music x New Balance 992 in two groovy colourways.
The three-way collaboration sets the stage for New Balance's iconic 992 silhouette to execute plush suede and premium leather panels, neon colours, and catchy imprints, all touching the aesthetic of the aforementioned labels. Carrying all its timeless features, such as the profile sidewall "N" logos and dual ENCAP and ABZORB midsoles that offers outstanding levels of comfort, these NB992s are a no-brainer cop for many sneakerheads out there.
The first pair offers up a more eye-catching set-up: indulged in hues of black, mint green, and red that nods to Nice Kicks' signature logo colour. The latter opts for a far more subtle look, sporting shades of grey and yellow. The ensemble further emphasises the high-profile collaboration with "Music" and "Peace" spell outs on the heel in place of the classic "Made in USA" branding, both rounded off with Amoeba's vibrant signage attached on the topmost eyestays as a hangtag.
The Nice Kicks x Amoeba Music x New Balance 992 unquestionably holds grail status for many New Balance aficionados. Let us know if you'll be adding these fire kicks to your collection, and while you're here, you might as well have a closer look at the new COMME des GARÇONS HOMME x New Balance 574!
