Following their inaugural New Balance collaboration earlier this year, our friends at @uptherestore are back at it again with the ‘Backyard Legends II’. Read below for all the info you need on their brand new banger! 💥 “After landing a belter of a catch in the Backyard Legends, Pat has floated across the Pacific Ocean, washing up on Venice Beach. Now he’s itching to bowl another over, but the field of play has changed. Instead of flipping snags on the grill and playing cricket, these Americans flip burgers and bat with a stick! This new arena calls for new shoes...” “The 2002R is back for another innings — that springy N-ERGY sole unit and techy upper are still perfect for the job. The synthetic materials are out, subbed for American–made Wolverine suede. There’s mesh everywhere — even places you wouldn’t normally find it. The signature details of the first Backyard Legends aren’t going anywhere, including the iconic “AUS” branding — we can’t let anyone forget where these Legends floated–in from.” “Whether you’re scooting across town to grab a doughnut, pumping iron down at Muscle Beach or chasing a catch across the Pacific Ocean — these Backyard Legends are ready to perform.” “They say the sequel is never as good as the original, well we’re here to buck that trend and hope you love them as much as we do!” The New Balance M2002RUP ‘Backyard Legends II’ will be releasing exclusively at Up There Store in-store from December 9th from 8am AEDT with an online release to follow from December 10th at 8am AEDT.
