Rick Williams<\/strong> and Roland Coit<\/strong>‘s upcoming Burn Rubber x New Balance 577 release isn’t their first collaborative project. Burn Rubber<\/strong>‘s two founders have produced some of the best collaborations to date with both New Balance and Reebok, but which ones are their absolute favorites? From their original New Balance MT580<\/strong> to their Reebok Question for Apollos Young<\/strong>, these Detroit players have nothing but great productions worthy of comparison and debate.<\/p>\n

We caught up with Rick<\/strong> and Ro<\/strong> to get their personal picks between all of their collaborations, and to ask the popular Yeezy 1 or Yeezy 2 question. Click through the following pages to see what Burn Rubber’s founders prefer, and keep Snkrs Day<\/strong> bookmarked for everything sneakers.<\/p>\n

Burn Rubber x New Balance MT580 or Burn Rubber x New Balance US574 “The Miggy”?<\/h3>\n Burn Rubber x New Balance MT580\n Burn Rubber x New Balance US574 “The Miggy”\n

Kick Pick:<\/strong> Burn Rubber x New Balance MT580<\/p>\n

Rick:<\/strong> \u201cThe 580<\/strong>, because that\u2019s the shoe that started it all for us. Without that shoe I don\u2019t think there would be all these other shoes. I mean, there has to be a starting point, and that was it for us. So that will always be my favorite.\u201c<\/p>\n

Ro:<\/strong> “I\u2019ll definitely say the original 580<\/strong>. The same thing he said, it\u2019s the first one. We put our heart and soul and everything we could possibly think in our brains into that shoe. It\u2019s kind of like when Nas does his first album, or you see a classic album, that\u2019s how that shoe feels to me.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Burn Rubber x Reebok Question for Apollos Young or Burn Rubber x Reebok Classic Leather “Spirit of Detroit”?<\/h3>\n Burn Rubber x Reebok Question for Apollos Young\n Burn Rubber x Reebok Classic Leather “Spirit of Detroit”\n

Kick Pick:<\/strong> Split<\/p>\n

Rick:<\/strong> \u201cI\u2019m going with the Classic Leather<\/strong>. And the reason I go with the Classic Leather is because I just like running shoes. That\u2019s like my favorite; my favorite shoes are running shoes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ro:<\/strong> \u201cI\u2019m going to go with the Iverson- the Apollos Young Question<\/strong>. I just think everything about that shoe from the ostrich, to the suede, to the 3M, to the inner lining, that silky or satin whatever it is, to the whole story behind it. Everything that went into that shoe. It\u2019s probably our most elaborate shoe. That was like my favorite. That\u2019s still one of my favorites period. Favorite Iversons period, not just the ones that we did.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Burn Rubber x New Balance “Workforce” Pack “Blue Collar” or “White Collar”?<\/h3>\n Burn Rubber x New Balance “Workforce” Pack “Blue Collar”\n Burn Rubber x New Balance “Workforce” Pack “White Collar”\n

Kick Pick:<\/strong> Burn Rubber x New Balance “Workforce” Pack “Blue Collar”<\/p>\n

Ro:<\/strong> “I\u2019m going to go with the ‘Blue Collar<\/strong>.’ All day. There\u2019s just something about those shoes with dark denim jeans, the same kind of stitching, and it just goes so well with it.”<\/p>\n

Rick:<\/strong> \u201cI\u2019ll have to agree. For me, we actually designed the ‘Blue Collar’<\/strong>\u00a0at the same time that we designed the first Burn Rubber New Balance. So that was the one that was originally going to be the shoe, then Ro called me one day and was like, ‘we should do a two shoe pack with the ‘White Collar’ and the ‘Blue Collar.’ So I would say the Blue Collar; and I have an affinity for gum soles.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Nike Air Yeezy or Nike Air Yeezy 2?<\/h3>\n Nike Air Yeezy\n Nike Air Yeezy 2\n

Kick Pick:<\/strong> Split<\/p>\n

Rick:<\/strong> \u201cI think I would say Yeezy 2<\/strong>. I just thought that the back was dope, and the whole panel was dope to me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ro:<\/strong> \u201cI would say Yeezy 1<\/strong>. I actually wore both of them, and the Yeezy 1 was an easier wear to me. I wore my 2s one time and sold them for the ticket. Got me a Rolex!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
