686 Snowboard Sneaker Launch Party

To promote our partnership with 686 on a limited snowboarding and sneaker collection, we held an East Coast launch event last night at Concepts in Cambridge, MA. The usual sneaker and snow folks were on hand and had their fair share of praise for the wares:

via Limité:
The collection is a perfect combination of historical legitimacy, quality craftsmanship, technical wisdom and progressive minimalistic design. We call it: 686 Times New Balance.

More love from Unequalled, Flickamag, C to the JL, Vapors and The Weekly Dope.

i just bought a pair, in white though because they look cooler. they are the best boots I have ever bought. And as a bonus, they have the BOA no lace system so you can do them up in seconds. Also has the Recco Avalanche Rescue system which is also a nice feature for backcountry.
