Another talented/creative individual and good friend Rick Williams does his thing yet again. In case you have been living under a rock for the last 30 days you need to get caught up quick! Rick took his passion for New Balance sneakers and team up with them to present what was called the 30 for 30. Check out the video below on how he went out with a bang to end the series off. Rick...we hope to see more dope projects like this from you and the Distinct Life brand in the near future. Make sure to follow up on the site by "CLICKING HERE." If you are on twitter keep up with the family @distinctlife. Congrats again!
As you know I’ve been showcasing a different pair of New Balance sneakers for every day in the month of June through my “30 for 30″. Throughout the month I have featured some old classics, some current models, and some yet to be released sneakers. Some of the highlights included the Mita x Undefeated MT580′s, the Burn Rubber MT580′s and yesterday’s teaser picture of the Burn Rubber New Balance that’s coming in 2012. To conclude the Distinct Life x New Balance “30 for 30″ I have put together a video to recap the month’s sneakers. The video was shot by Detroit’s media groups Champion Media and The Art Direction. With sounds by Filthy Rockwell, producer of the recently released song “Celebrity” by Big Sean off of his newly released Finally Famous the Album!

Burn Rubber x New Balance 580 (Video)
So here is what you all have been waiting for. We are the first to take a up close and in depth look at the collaboration with Detroit's hottest sneaker boutique and New Balance. Read below from the bio from their site and check out the video.
New Balance for Burn Rubber | MT580 Collaboration | Available 11/26/10
Historically the New Balance MT580 is a shoe released out of Asia with various collaborators. This marks the first time that the shoe has been collaborated on and brought through by the New Balance America team.
In business since 2004 Burn Rubber is Metro Detroit’s first premium sneaker boutique. The Burn Rubber name is a play on a phrase from the Motor City’s car culture. The name came from the comparison of the use of sneakers on a person to the use of tires on a car. Burn Rubber is known throughout their community as the place to get hard to find, limited edition sneakers and clothing.
Burn Rubber made the shoe their own by applying a shop colored theme and utilizing materials in unique ways. The custom designed argyle pattern that lines the inside of the shoe was created to incorporate all of the company’s branded colors. A reflective 3M material, originally developed to reflect light for night running, was also used throughout the mostly gray shoe to give the design another dimension. The majority of the shoe design is comprised of New Balance’s premium nubuck and gray mesh, and completed with a touch of patent leather and a classic gum sole.
As one of the most recognizable aspects of the Burn Rubber brand they have chosen to include the shop’s mascot on the hangtag provided with each shoe. The Chef, originally created to be “just another T-Shirt design”, ended up taking on a life of its own. The photo shoot for this project was done from the perspective of a chef and was intended to bring light to the story of Burn Rubber’s popular logo & style.
The Burn Rubber MT580 will be available on November 26th at www.burnrubberdetroit.com and at Burn Rubber’s Royal Oak Location (202 W Fourth Street, Royal Oak, MI 48067).
