"10th Anniversary" UBIQ x New Balance x Mitchell & Ness

    Has it been 10 years already?  Seems like yesterday when Ubiq opened it's door in center city Philadelphia.  A sneaker haven, urban wear boutique was born and has been providing the tri-state area with nothing but the best in not only footwear and urban clothing, but great events that include top name musical talent, clothing labels,  and historical athletic legends. It has become a staple of the city and a marquee location to get your Jordans and the very limited releases of most brands.  I've been to many events and all have been awesome and top notch.

     Which brings us to Ubiq finally releasing their very own collaboration with New Balance to celebrate the store's 10 anniversary.  Starting off with the New Balance classic 574 model, black leather and suede cover the upper while the white outlined, orange "N' gives it enough to standout.  The black and orange colors are the original store colors along with the local favorite hockey team, the Flyers.  A grey suede backtab finishes it off with hints of grey and white on the heel and sole.
     It's really a great looking sneaker and the leather and suede feel and look great.  Kudos to Ubiq to keeping the idea simple and straight forward, especially in an era where new collaborations come out every weekend with every variation thought of and sometimes too much.  I'm sure this will be the first of many collabos between these two brands (1600, cough cough), since these have sold out and were only available in store.  Hopefully you were lucky enough to get your hands on a pair, only 48 pair were produced.  Yup, 48, that's called limited.  Also, Made in the USA.
       Too cap it off, local legendary brand Mitchell & Ness contributed on the anniversary celebration by  producing two very limited snapbacks.  In the matching black and orange colors and repping the ol' 70's Flyers team, the Broadstreet "Bullies", the caps have the traditional script and 5 gold stars sewn on the sides.  That's too represent their status in the game.  One cap has the regular adjustable snapback, while the all suede cap  has the leather strap.
     Here's to Ubiq, an all around class act shop that elevates the culture and looking forward to another 10 years.
