New Balance Bring Luxury With the ‘Premium Caviar & Vodka’ Pack

Over the last couple of decades, themed sneaker packs have been like catnip to collectors and enthusiasts the world over, in particular anything themed around food and drink. Continuing in this spirit (no pun intended), New Balance present this luxurious pack of Made in England Point 9 hybrid models based around the twin Russian delicacies of premium vodka and caviar.

New Balance 576 ‘Made In England’ Pre-Order

New Balance 576 Made In England

Possibly one of the most eyecatching colourways that New Balance has done over the last few months is incorporated into these two new models of the classic 576. Taking a yellow, navy and white pallete, New Balance have crafted two stunning shoes by flipping the colours around and creating the inverse colour of the other shoe.

For those a bit more daring, the yellow base colour is a gorgeous colourway for Summer whilst the navy version is for those who like to be a bit more conservative with their footwear. As ever, New Balance spare no expense in crafting the iconic runner direct from their Cumbria based Flimby factory. Pigskin suede leather uppers sit aside leather accents and padded ankle cuffs. The comfort is enhanced through the C-Cap cushioning system inside the midsole unit.

These two models of the 576 will be available to pre-order from 00.01 GMT on 1 March 2014 for delivery in April. Shop our full New Balance category now
