New Balance 577 ‘Plum’

Imagine this is like one of those word problems you spent so much time practicing for entrance exams and compute the following: New Balance’s 574 is one of the modern standards by which classic running sneakers are judged, while the 575 remains fairly obscure save a few key collaborative releases.  The 576 is on par with the 574 in terms of both popularity and variety of styles available, so what should we expect from the 577?  It might have been just another odd-numbered also-ran at one point, but ever since Perth’s HAL double-resurrected it for the ‘Day n Night’ pack, this 1989 classic has been building the kind of momentum that’s resulted in dope in-house designs like this plum New Balance M577PU.  Have a closer look after the jump below, then grab yours at select NB retailers like SNS.
