Military themes have been prominent in the sneaker world since the Air Jordan V borrowed its midsole sharkstooth from a WWII-era fighter plane.  We’ve seen more and more of late in the form of various nylon flight jacket-inspired looks, the latest of which is this upcoming New Balance MTG580 MA-1.  Much like the similarly-nylon’d UNDFTD x Converse Poorman Weapons, these feature velcro on the logos so you can swap out different colors on this mostly olive green pair.  And even with the UNDFTD collabos’ limited availability, these’ll be even harder to come by as an Asian exclusive.  Check out more shots of the green MTG580 MA-1 after the jump and look for those and the brown edition at Kix-Files.
