With so many new colorways releasing and on the horizon as we approach the venerable 574′s 25th anniversary, let’s remember its almost-twin from the Class of 1988 is also deserving of celebration. The New Balance 576 comes at us straight-up with classic navy blue and grey suede and mesh compositions whose golden heel counters both add an aged look and present this icon with a kind of ‘halo’ that reflects the pure old school goodness. The end result is a memory come to life in perfect fidelity with pre-orders from Hanon coming up one minute before December begins, local time, in advance of the January 2013 ship date.

2012′s biggest sneaker anniversaries have undoubtedly been the Dream Team’s 20th and the Air Force 1′s 30th, but let’s not forget about another three decade veteran just because it’s an entire factory and not just one shoe. New Balance has been manufacturing top-notch running shoes in Cumbria, England for thirty years now, and that Flimby Factory gets its due with a trio of veterans creating their own special colorways. The New Balance M576 pictured above was authored by Andy Mandle in commemoration of 30 years of Flimby, but you’ll have far less time to grab a pair with only limited sizes still available at SNS.

Sneaker News just showed you that cutting room craftsman Andy Mandle’s design has arrived at retail, and now we see the second of three Flimby 30th anniversary designs available for a fellow employee ten years his senior. Roy Bell sees Mandle’s twelve years at Flimby and raises him another decade, which means this New Balance M576 with his name on the inner tongue has nearly as much experience behind it as this time-tested model itself. It’s classic New Bal with plenty of grey and navy blue, tons of suede and a visually apparent quality that’s the true star of this trio. Have a closer look below, then find your 1982-2012 commemorative NB576s at SNS.

The word ‘derby’ has quite a few different meanings, but just about all of them trace their roots back to the town of Derbyshire, England. That’s where the 12th Earl kicked off the first horse races at Epsom Downs in 1780, as well as the birthplace of the basis of the iconic blucher. Somewhere between horse racing and footwear design is this New Balance 576 ’Derby Pack’, a trio representing ‘Fighter’, ‘Legend’ and ‘Ladies’ characters and their connections to thoroughbred racing. Let us know which jockey’s design looks best once you’ve seen them all below and stick with Sneaker News for release info on this (presumably ‘Made in England’) spring 2013 trio. via EUkicks
