New Balance collaborations in 2020 continue to prove themselves to be wholly unique amongst an ever-growing sea of footwear collaborations. For their latest Fall ready partnership, New Balance has teamed up with Japan’s BEAUTY & YOUTH for a subtle take on the RC205 silhouette – formerly known as the COMP800 when first released in 1996.

Complete with advertising that bears a striking resemblance to Aimé Leon Dore‘s own referential posters, the BEAUTY & YOUTH x New Balance RC205 comes in two autumnal colorways of either brown or beige. The brown pair comes at a slightly higher price point due to its use of leather overlays as opposed to suede as is the case with the beige pair. The latter comes in various shades of beige paneling and mesh underlays while the prior is a simple, two-toned brown/white. Both pairs are currently available for pre-order via United Arrows with a standard online and in-store release at United Arrows and Beauty & Youth stores on September 19th.

Sole Savy is unreal! With a busy schedule it’s hard to keep up on shoes, and the group keeps me up to date on releases, tips on how to manually cop, and a marketplace with killer deals from fellow like minded collectors. It’s changed the sneaker game for me!

@SoleSavy is the truth. They've helped me cop kicks I never would've imagined getting at retail. Members always willing to assist on drops too. And most of all, a REAL community of REAL sneakerheads. These guys should be the gold standard for sneaker communities! #LifetimeMember

My membership paid for itself three fold by being solely responsible for my union 4’s, mesh sacai waffles, sacai blazers, court purple aj1s, glow in the dark yeezy 350s, travis scott lows (which I traded to get desert ore ow’s), air max 1 londons, bc3’s for way under retail etc.

Can't say enough about SS. The stellar help with copping shoes is a given but it's the community that makes it extra special. Hands down one of the best decisions I made as a wannabe sneakerhead.

The community of sneakerheads and resources available to help manually cop are great and really will help you get more Ws. The Zoom calls for hyped drops like Union Jordan 4 only adds to the camaraderie while providing real time instruction
