Is there anyone out there doing better New Balance collabs than J.Crew? In recent years, the fashion retailer has been giving sneaker stores a run for their money, dropping heaterafterheater and showing no signs of letting up.

With that in mind, it shouldn't come as much of a surprise that its newest release is one of the dopest NBs we've seen in months. Once again using the Made in U.S.A. 998 as its base, J.Crew has dubbed this stealthy look the "Nighthawk." They blend a black pigskin upper with various shades of grey and get a subtle pop from accents of blue throughout. 

By mixing dark tones with just the right amount of color, this is the sort of look that's perfect for the upcoming winter weather. They're available now exclusively from J.Crew for $180, and the best part is, they're not on backorder like some of the brand's previous New Balance collabs.
