As the brand’s flagship classic runner, the New Balance 574 has been everywhere for as long as we can remember. The only way to try and hide it would be to apply some kind of concealment technology, but as we see in the case of these two new pairs, that only makes you want to look at them more. The olive ‘Camo’ 574s we showed you earlier this month are joined by a grey counterpart. These styles are blocked identically and both feature bright laces, whereas the relatively uncommon 501 switches things up for more camo print and neutral strings. Decide which you like best after seeing more photos below, then grab yours from NB retailers like Wish.

New Balance’s earlier low profile runners don’t get as much play these days as the 1980s lineup, but this model in particular made an impact in 2013 by way of the Herschel Supply Co. collab. Here we see another kind of perfected construction at the heart of a New Balance 420 design, as stunning supermodel Heidi Klum adds her personal touch to a HKNB Unisex 420 (sizes listed are mens, women go down 1.5). These Heidi Klum 420s have a bit of sparkle applied to their lightweight suede and canvas uppers, and you can see more below before buying straight from New Balance.

The New Balance 996 is perfect. The 1989 runner is considered one of the finest ’80s NB classics and has done a great job of late combining its classic lines with vibrant contemporary colorways. Here we see New Bal go one step further, combining this quarter-century veteran with a brand new cushioning platform. But instead of remix the 996 in a futuristic style, these M996 RevLites hide the updated tech inside the silhouette we’ve come to know and love, ENCAP’d sole included. Stick with Sneaker News to see exactly when these Fall 2013 releases drop and let us know which of these five you’re most excited to buy.

While their classics are synonymous with low-key suede and mesh, New Balance’s modern performance runners are every bit as connected to kaleidoscopic rainbow colorways. They also produce eye-catching if more traditional looks with the same tech benefits, as in the case of the New Balance Leadville 1210. Taking its name from Colorado’s insane Leadville Trail 100 race, the NB 1210 manages a perfect balance of support and light weight for those extreme endurance challenges. Click through for closer looks at two fresh releases, then grab yours straight from New Balance.

The second leg of the Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing takes place this Saturday, May 18th with the Preakness Stakes in Baltimore. If Kentucky Derby winner Orb manages to take the Preakness, we’ll be in for a big Belmont Stakes with the possibility of the first Triple Crown winner since the magical 1970s. About a decade after Secretariat, Seattle Slew and Affirmed was when New Balance really hit its stride, and here we see the 576 that released ten years after the last, dressed up in ‘Race Day’ attire. The New Balance 576 ‘The Fighter’ is depicted further below while we await ‘The Legend’ (perhaps held back until June’s big race?), and you can grab a pair now from End.

Stay balanced like a runner’s feet. 992 is scripted on the Balance. Balance be the crispest. You don’t exactly have to read between the lines of Queens rapper Action Bronson‘s lyrics to figure out that he’s got a thing for NB’s. In this quick clip the rapper gives a bit of background on his history with the brand, calling out his favorite pair, his love for the 3M detailing, and more. Stay with us through the click for the whole video of Bronsolino talking New Balance (It’s a shame they didn’t get a shot of his NB tattoo, no?) and let us know if you think the rapper is deserving of his own silhouette by now.

The New Balance 890v3 has released in no shortage of neck-breaking colorways since debuting last year. This 9oz REVlite-cushioned third revision to the NB890 comes forward today with a style that from the second you see it, you’re likely to think ‘South Beach’. There’s more overlap with the Nike LeBron series as the midsole takes on a faceted, jewel-like graphic, but a quick glance at the heel or insole reveals these are in fact the ‘Tokyo’ 890s. Check them out up close after the jump, then grab yours at shops like SNS.

The last time New Balance did something called ‘Alpine’, it was an extremely popular 2012 collaboration with West NYC. Perhaps in the same way that we can see ties between this year’s New Balance 574 ’Yacht Pack’ and CNCPTS’ instant classic ‘Kennedy’ 999s, this new set of 574s draws on the success of West’s MT580s. The coloring is entirely different, though four renditions connect with ski/snowboard apparel through vibrant two-tone palettes plus a reflective gradient on the heel counter that resembles polarized eyewear. The NB574 ‘Alpine Pack’ should arrive in stores this June, so stick with Sneaker News for updates.
