Throughout the month of September, the New Balance 580 looked toward the retro aesthetics of decades past with “Vintage Teals” and “Washed Burgundy”. After taking a trip down the archives, the cult-classic composition now extends a modernized monochrome treatment.

Cured exclusively in a greyscale palette, the pair’s supple suede overlays are stricken with an overtly faint “Raincloud” grey that allows for the jet-black mesh base layer to soak up the limelight. Pitch-dark color matches are stretched to the tongue construction, laces, tread and the trim of the profile “N” logo while the mid-foot Rollbar is accented in a dark grey tint. What’s more, the inner lining and midsole are cast in a bright white contrast underfoot, further amplifying the chosen tones above.

The New Balance 580 “Raincloud” is currently available overseas in Europe. While we await news regarding a stateside release, the pair can be seen in detailed imagery below.
