New Balance 576 “Vintage”

With so many new colorways releasing and on the horizon as we approach the venerable 574’s 25th anniversary, let’s remember its almost-twin from the Class of 1988 is also deserving of celebration.  The New Balance 576 comes at us straight-up with classic navy blue and grey suede and mesh compositions whose golden heel counters both add an aged look and present this icon with a kind of ‘halo’ that reflects the pure old school goodness.  The end result is a memory come to life in perfect fidelity with pre-orders from Hanon coming up one minute before December begins, local time, in advance of the January 2013 ship date.
