Long time Kanye West affiliates Brock Coron and Tremaine Emory, otherwise known as No Vacancy Inn, have just revealed their latest project with New Balance and StockX. The partnership revolves around a 400-pair run of a collaborative New Balance 650 sneaker that will be available exclusively through a blind auction via StockX IPO, allowing participants to set their own price for the collab.
The sneaker itself is inspired by Japanese interior designer George Nakashima whose minimalist approach to furniture has now been translated into a muted, cream-colored sneaker. The NB 650 has a dark brown outsole underneath a white Abzorb midsole, while the upper is a mixture of beige, white, and cream materials. “No Vacancy Inn” branding appears on both tongues while leather, mesh, and two kinds of suede are applied through the sneaker in the aforementioned colors. The hangtag features a USB key with Emory and Coron’s quarantine playlist included with all 400 pairs.
