New Balance’s 576 was first released back in 1988 as an update to the 575 model, and now, three and a half decades down the line, the Boston based brand are set to drop the New Balance 576 35th Anniversary Pack to commemorate the milestone…

Arriving in a set of two, the New Balance 576 35th Anniversary Pack pays homage to the true form of the 576, basing the new models on an original Japanese Catalogue spec. They look to release in both Navy and Grey, remaining true to what many view as the quintessential New Balance colourways on the brands most staple silhouette.

The models will be made in the brands Flimby factory using the most premium materials available, such as CF Stead Suede and luxurious pigskin, all of which are placed atop the brands Encap technology and durable rubber outsole. The Made In UK design team have taken meticulous care at an engineering level to ensure that details such as tongue construction, branding placement and even the shoes stitch weight are near identical to the OGs, ensuring authenticity with every detail. These pairs will be as quality and as versatile as ever, a collectors item to some, and an everyday pair to others, proof of the timeless appeal and ever-present quality of the brands archival classics.

New Balance’s Creative Director for the brands MIUK range spoke on the collection ” The 576 has taken many different forms and variations over the years, but now, with the model clocking its 35th anniversary we wanted to give the consumer the true experience of this shoe in its original form.”

Retailing at £190, you can get your hands on a pair now, as they have just launched online and in-store at Aphrodite.
