Concepts and Vans join forces once again for our latest collaboration on the “Forty Deuce” Old Skool…inspired by NYC’s 42nd Street during its grittiest in the 1970s.
The Concepts x Vans “Forty Deuce” Old Skool is dressed in bleached black denim and cracked leather, featuring debossed Concepts heel cap, waxed black cotton and classic white shoelaces. Harkening back to our Vans “Combat Zone” project, the “Forty Deuce” collection is influenced by New York’s Times Square, when it was home to the city’s seediest underbelly.
The Concepts x Vans “Forty Deuce” Old Skool will launch on the 13th of April. Find it on CNCPTS.COM and at Concepts locations in Cambridge and New York City.
In 2013, Concepts celebrated Christmas with an edition of the Nike SB Dunk Hi. The Boston based shop played off the ugly sweater theme in creating the sneaker, a Christmas time garment known for its bold graphical infusions.

New Balance’s combination of the 997 and 998 is receiving a colorway from Concepts for September. The Boston based shop is taking design inspiration from its local stomping grounds…

This limited collaboration also comes with 3 sets of laces and a special Concepts box with a hidden hint at another angle that inspired the shoe’s design.
The sneaker is launching on Friday, the 8th of September for $225 through cncpts.com at 11AM EDT. Those in Cambridge, MA can buy the sneaker 10AM EDT at Concepts and New York, Concepts NYC will have them at 11AM.
New Balance’s recent reissue of the Trailbuster is now ready to take a fresh step into the current year with a modern update. The tech update starts on a contemporary Fresh Foam sole, which is visually defined by its spongy geometric pattern. The upper is a departure from the original with a full knit textile upper in a mid cut. Boston based Concepts is helping New Balance debut the design, styling the sneaker with a desert theme as the Des Sables in a blend of warm copper/jupiter/helium.
Boston-based New Balance Athletics, Inc. and Concepts join forces for the debut of the Trailbuster Fresh Foam “des Sables.†Part of a year-long collaboration, the style is inspired by the desert landscape and designed for the trail blazer.
