Footpatrol's first collaboration of the year will come from New Balance, as shown by the above photo.

New Balance noobs should know that this isn't the first time that the brand has worked with this storied shop–it had a big group of New Balance 576s back in 2007. It's been quiet since then, but part of that has to do with the fact that it was shuttered for a while. Teased here is an upcoming New Balance 1500 with a 'Knowledge is Key' theme that references the Encyclopedia Britannica. New Balance itself went down a similar road last year with its author-themed collections, so it will be interesting to see how this pair differentiates itself from those. The Footpatrol x New Balance 1500 'Knowledge is Key' is set to release on Jan. 24, 2015.
