Did you miss out on the Concepts x New Balance 998 Brick and Mortar “M-80” upon the initial release? If you came up empty handed and were as disappointed as when that dud firework never explodes, there’s some new hope. The July 4th themed sneaker by Concepts and New Balance is hitting a wider range of retailers this weekend. The shoe inspired by both working class Americans and fireworks features bandana paisley patterns in a washed treatment across the upper, paired with off-white suede for a different twist on the red, white and blue theme. The Concepts x New Balance 998 Brick and Mortar drops this weekend at select New Balance retailers like Feature. Call your local shop to check for availability.
