Irvine, CA, January 21, 2009 — Westlife Distribution is pleased to announce the pre-release of a limited edition collection featuring 686® and New Balance®. The 686 Times Line is an annual program that began six years ago and is a collaborative effort between 686 and another premium brand to offer entirely new innovations in products.

For the 2009-2010 winter season, with products shipping globally in August 2009, privately held global footwear and apparel company New Balance® and rider owned and operated 686, come together to introduce a winter collection composed of Outerwear, Footwear, Boots and Accessories. The collection is a perfect combination of historical legitimacy, quality craftsmanship, technical wisdom and progressive minimalist design.

“Sneakers have been a part of my life just as much as snowboarding and skateboarding, and I hope to bring to boardsports what New Balance has done in the performance and lifestyle categories,” says Michael Akira West, owner and creative director at 686, “New Balance and 686 share similar backgrounds in quality workmanship, technical fits and being independently operated. Combing the two brands will definitely create excitement; however the hype I’m looking for is being backed by performance, delivery and sell-through.” (more…)

With advanced binding methods and an extremely flexible, non-porous membrane, Gelanots® laminates offer no delamination and an uncompromising stretch ability that, unlike traditional PTFE membranes, resists tearing and remains waterproof when stretched.
