Yesterday, Sneaker Report previewed the upcoming New Balance skateboarding sneaker. Although the technical specs of these kicks aren't yet known, today brings a few more interesting details about the project.

The first model in the #Numeric line will be the NB CT891, showcased in four different colorways. Perhaps the most attention-grabbing detail is the special packaging, a wooden pull-out box which has been decked out with decals much like skaters do to personalize their boards. Included in the packages are the aforementioned CT891, as well as a vintage-style skateboard. These are quite the tribute to fans of the historic street sport.

Keep it locked with Sneaker Report for further details on the CT891 and #Numeric line, including technical information and first-hand reviews.
