New Balance 576 “Roy Bell”

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.
