CNCPTS and New Balance unveil new money-themed sneaker
CNCPTS, New Balance announce new sneaker

Fresh off of their “Brut” collaboration, CNCPTS and New Balance are joining forces once more for a new design that differs from what we’ve seen from the pair. While their previous releases tackled the New Balance 740 model and paid homage to different drinks, their newest sneaker takes another turn. This time around, CNCPTS and New Balance are referencing the USD 1,000 banknote, of which only two bills are known to exist. One of these banknotes sold in an auction in 2014 for $3 million is as rare as they get. Besides referencing this rare collectible, the sneaker’s release coincides with Saint Patrick’s Day, making it an all-around green affair. Aptly named the ‘1000 Mile, ’ the new collaborative sneaker contains colorful accents and well-thought-out details. Although this release won’t be as rare as the bill it references, users should expect these designs to fly off the shelves.
