I've never really been a fan of New Balance, but this latest collaboration with Herschel backpacks has really got my attention. I'm specifically looking forward to the Navy 420's. There are also some boots in this pack, but they're really a eyesore (IMO), anyways I was wondering if there are any New Balance heads on the forum that have an idea when these are supposed to drop, all I heard is sometime in Spring. Also can anyone tell me how the New Balance 420 model fits compared to a pair of Authentics or Eras? And lastly, does anyone know what shops might get these?

I love NB's, but not the 420's. My old DJ homie, started a website called http://www.thosenbs.com. I'd say follow them to stay up to date with more info on these. They'll probably be at most NB stockists, like UNDFTD, Blends, Bows & Arrows, Conveyor, and all the East Coast and Mid-West spots.

Thanks for the info Bill.

If anyone else is interested in these, they've been available @ Urban Outfitters for a while now. Navy almost sold out.
