The release of the Sneaker Freaker x 998 ‘Tassie Devil’ took place in March 2013, marking a special occasion as it honored the Australian sneaker publication's 10th anniversary. This remarkable edition of the iconic New Balance silhouette was specifically designed to pay homage to the Tasmanian devil, a well-known Australian marsupial. The sneaker's captivating design includes a striking combination of black and violet hues, which perfectly captures the essence of this unique animal. The white foam midsole, on the other hand, features intricate triangular fang detailing, adding an extra touch of authenticity and creativity to the overall design.
