New Balance 576 “Andy Mandle”

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.
