  • 686 x HUF x New Balance Footwear collab


    GrindTV Newswire Via 686: LOS ANGELES, CA (January 4, 2011) - 686® technical apparel is pleased to announce a continued partnership with acclaimed footwear brand New Balance® with the introduction of two new models produced alongside the HUF™ skateboard / lifestyle brand. The NB686 snowboard boot and the New Balance 205 sneaker will both be available January 8th in limited quantities.

    The triple partnership brings forth a focus on clean design, with dark blue and white tones accented with pink and green hits and embellishments. The HUF for New Balance 205 sneaker is made of a micro suede and highly breathable mesh upper. The perforated suede New Balance logo makes a polished statement with coordinating NB 205 and HUF logo hits on the tongue. The terry cloth lining gives exceptional cushioning properties and has a contrasting micro suede heel cap.

    As a compliment to the sneaker, the extremely limited HUF for NB686 snowboard boot has a worldwide limit of only 40 pairs available to the general public around the globe. The technical engineering from 686, superior waterproofing, one-piece molded tongue with 3-dimensional EVA, C-CAP® forefront midsole and the sneaker-like fit from New Balance and HUF make this a complete snowboarding boot.

    The release date for the entire collection is January 8, 2011 and will be available at the following HUF flagship stores. The snowboard boots will also be available on www.686.com starting January 10, 2010.

    GrindTV Newswire, Via 686:
    IRVINE, CA (August 18, 2010) - Yes, it might only be mid-August, but if we're already thinking about winter, that means most shredders around the world are as well. It is only a few months away after all, so we thought this was a perfect opportunity to get your mind out of sand and into snow with the debut of the new 686.com!

    The newly renovated website is the headquarters for all things 686. The blog-like format of the home page allows for quick and easy access to product, athlete updates, video content, downloads, contests, shop profiles and the popular Mash-Up blog of 686 founder, Mike West.

    In addition to the easy-to-navigate and clean aesthetic of the site, each piece of men's and women's outerwear has a custom video describing special features, waterproofing and breathability. Throw in a bigger and better zoom feature, and you can get up close and personal to your next purchase like never before.

    686.com is updated daily with content and is also the hub for the new interactive 686 Reservoir Dogs ad campaign featuring Marco Feichtner, Louie Vito, Forest Bailey and Patrick McCarthy. As each ad drops, clues and a video are posted on www.686.com where consumers can follow the leads to win prizes and solve the big "mystery"...
