Last Saturday at 12am, Leftfoot Entrepot launched the long awaited New Balance China Mask 576 pack to a crowd of hungry sneakerheads. For those who haven’t been following Streething regularly for the past few months, the China Mask pack is the biggest project to come out of New Balance Asia Pacific this year. After the initial three kicks were announced, New Balance held a massive media event in Shanghai to unveil the Wu Shuang editions. Employing a rather flamboyant “ying-yang” sort of colour scheme and being limited to just 576 pairs, it’s unsurprising that the Wu Shuangs were most peoples choice at the midnight launch.
Before the kicks were up for sale, New Balance Singapore had a set of China Mask 576s to divide between the three best mask designs of the night. Apart from that, DJ Rough and DJ Ritz kept the beats tight whilst everyone just mingled and tried their best to finish off the generous allocation of booze courtesy of Jim Beam. The night ended earlier and more quieter than usual parties due to Leftfoot founder Anthony Ho emerging from the storeroom with five bottles of tequila, which managed to almost instantly scare off everyone in the store. Lesson learned - next time break out the hard liquor one by one instead of going the “shock and awe” route.
For a chance to win a pair of Wu Shuangs, check out the New Balance 576 China Mask giveaway we’re running.
