A fictional account of Ruth’s life, the silent film was dubbed ‘a delightful photoplay of youth and happiness’.
‘The film was a flop. But its place in the historic similarity between cities remains,’ explains Concepts. ‘The Yankees, of course, went on to win…a lot. Boston, meanwhile, suffered the ‘Curse of the Bambino’ from 1918-2004.’
Dressed in an orange scheme referencing the film’s posters, the sneaker comes through with ‘N’ logos done in a waxy paper, similar to that seen on baseball card packs. As with most Concepts drops, pairs will come housed in a custom box – in this case, complete with theatrical iconography and a matching lanyard. Down below, things are rounded out with an off-white midsole atop a black rubber outsole.
Arriving alongside special apparel including hoodies, sweatpants, t-shirts and hats, the Concepts x New Balance 57/40 ‘Headin’ Home’ will release on August 27 via Concepts.
