New Balance unveils Ivy League-inspired sneaks

For those occasions when you want to affirm your love for this school, but the bright Princeton hoodie is just too much (we all love orange, but come on ... it can be garish at times), New Balance has the answer for you:The H710 Low Sneaker collection, unveiled in December, features eight new designs for each of the Ivy League schools. The Princeton pair features a beige upper, heavy-duty cord laces striped in orange and black, and tongue tags with the New Balance branding that are designed to look like the Princeton shield. The sneaker-boot hybrids promise to be strong enough to handle the mud/slush/weather abuse that New Jersey's been throwing our way.Take a look:More after the jump!The bad news? The shoes were designed overseas, and are only available to a Japanese market. So quick! Get ahold of your friend's sister's Japanese exchange student and have them ship a coupla' pairs over!
