New Balance Waterproofs the 1500 Mid and 577 for the “Avalanche” Pack

Getting you outfitted for whatever the cold and wet winter season can throw at you, New Balance introduces waterproofed versions of the 1500 Mid and 577 in the “Avalanche” pack. We’re guessing the Avalanche nickname has much more to do with their waterproof constructions than the colorways, as the set features each model in dark grey or black—not exactly the first hues you correlate with snow. Both featuring Made in England quality from the Flimby, UK factory, the 1500 Mid and 577 each come built in premium suede and ripstop nylon uppers with a water resistant coating and reflective detailing. Falling into overseas shops now, expect the New Balance Avalanche pack to hit finer US suppliers soon.
