We’re now less than ten months away from the start of the Games of the XXX Olympiad in London, England, and as the torch gets closer to its destination, you know we’ll see a huge emphasis on the event from the world’s leading athletic brands. One whose identity connects directly with the UK more so than perhaps any other label is New Balance, whose ‘Road to London’ Pack of 574 runners stays true to both the brand’s legacy of classic style and the old world capital’s stately demeanor. Tonal grey and navy pairs go the gumsoled route and add some dignified lettering to the tongue tag and insoles along with a Union Jack on the heel; are they the best ‘Made in UK’ edition so far in 2011, and what happened to the black joints we showed you back in June? Click through to see more of the grey and navy pairs and stick with Sneaker News for the US release date. via HS
