Boston-based retailer CNCPTS taps into the artistr

Boston-based retailer CNCPTS taps into the artistry of Champagne making with its latest collab, the New Balance 740 “Saignée.” Inspired by the niche Champagne-making process known as Rosé de Saignée.

Speaking about the release, CNCPTS Creative Director Deon Point explains, "We were really inspired by the combination of warm and cool tones in the color palette of a bottle of rosé Champagne. The season is filled with celebration and no shortage of Champagne being poured, so for us, we wanted to bring that same vibrant spirit and mix of details to the design of the 740."

Off-White celebrates the bond between its late fou

Off-White celebrates the bond between its late founder Virgil Abloh and Bstroy founders Brick Owens and Dieter “Du” Grams with its latest “Out Of Office” sneaker collaboration.

The design was sparked by an organic exchange of ideas in a group thread between Du, Brick, and Virgil. True to form, Virgil replied to a shared concept by screenshotting the image and marking it up with finger-drawn sketches, including an arrow pointing to Du’s 40th anniversary Porsche 911. That arrow became the muse for transforming the sneaker’s signature leather arrow into a raw, hand-drawn motif.

The two sneaker colorways are now available on the Off-White website and if you're in New York check out the launch event happening at the Mercer street store this evening. Last slide for event deets!
