New Balance 576 “Port Royal”

The New Balance 576 is enjoying quite a year as are many NB classic runners in 2012, and this newest design capitalizes on the momentum of those earlier drops in more ways than one.  These ‘Made in England’ NB576s could have just as easily shown up in the spring trio that included black, green and navy designs all with white-on-white big-N branding, its Port Royal suede suggesting maybe they were purposely aged to improve the character.  The 576 has indeed found an ease of refinement in its near quarter-century of service, and the latest elegant effort is available now at SNS.
