New Balance and Shoe Palace Collaborate on "Lands End" 2002R

To celebrate its 30th anniversary, Shoe Palace has teamed up with New Balance to drop the "Lands End" 2002R -- a sneaker that takes inspiration from San Francisco's Lands End Lookout.

The silhouette has become ultra-popular for both inline releases and collaborations with names like BEAMS, The Basement, DTLR and more.

Shoe Palace's 2002R draws on Lands End's environment and views, with the upper representing its rocky terrain and the various laces nodding to the ocean and tints of the Golden Gate Bridge. Other details, like the shoe's green insoles are inspired by the area's eucalyptus trees, with the labyrinth-like pattern representing a destination point at the lookout.

The retailer said it chose Lands End Lookout as an inspiration for the shoe due to San Fransisco being in its backyard and as a way to honor how the historical landmark has helped to shape Bay Area culture.

Shoe Palace expressed that "The natural colors from the coast from rocky cliffs above the ocean to the shady stands of cypress and eucalyptus trees, to the secret labyrinth; inspired us to design a capsule to pay homage to our beautiful surrounding."

The Shoe Palace x New Balance 2002R "Lands End" is expected to drop on July 7 for $150 USD on the retailer's site.
