Inspired by the US Navy SEALS, the Concepts x New Balance 999 “SEAL” is set to roll out to select European retailers later this month as the collab is due to drop at Scotland’s Hanon on September 22.
Inspired by the converging elements of Air, Land and Sea, Concepts have created a unique collaboration with New Balance and Arc’teryx – a capsule of technically engineered goods for the cooler months. The capsule encompasses the SEAL Squamish waterproof jacket which compacts into its own chest pocket for maximum packability and the SEAL 999, New Balance’s updated sneaker which takes inspiration from the functional rigor behind the high-performance amphibious boot, the OTB Abyss II. Stain resistant microfiber suede, ballistic mesh and ultra-breathable nylon panels allowing the SEAL 999 to thrive in a host of diverse conditions. More info here.

For the absent minded, the Concepts x New Balance 999 “Seal” features a full suede upper over the running silo mixed with a range of colors from blue, to brown, to grey. Additionally, morse code encryption on the tongue branding and a Concepts patch on the insole add a touch of exclusivity.

Following their brilliant ‘Kennedy’ NB from 2011, Boston’s Concepts have followed up with this NB999. There’s a definite cross-country-military-hiking feel to these chunkers and design details abound. Topographical sockliners, cordura-mesh, stencil fonts and secretive Morse Code finesse a colourway best described as aqua profundo! Inspired by the amphibious OTB Abyss II, a shoe assigned to Navy SEALs, the SEAL 999 will be available from CNCPTS on August 4th with a matching capsule collection containing a hard-wearing Arc’teryx jacket. As seen in Senaker Freaker issue 24.
