NINE SUMMER SHOES BYNEW BALANCE FOR THE STYLE-CONSCIOUS SNEAKERHEAD

Brought out of the archive back in 2022, the New Balance 580 – which originally debuted back in 1996 – is not only an important piece of the brand’s history but also sneaker culture as a whole. Rising to prominence across Japan, the model is nothing short of a cult classic. And though previously overlooked here in the states, the 580’s recent return allows everyone another chance to sing its well-deserved praises.

Built for all off-road excursions, the New Balance 610T has found a new life on urban playgrounds. A product of the 2000s, the trail-inspired design couples reliable, rugged traction with New Balance-approved comfort. The array of panels up-top don’t only allow the brand to offer lighter trail shoes than in the past, but also enable a versatile catalog of color schemes for all style preferences.

Headlined by Jamal Murray’s NBA Finals run, New Balance’s premier on-court tooling has enjoyed the brand’s most detailed treatment yet. Infused with an expansive slate of color blockings and inaugural collaborations, the TWO WXY V3 packs an energy-returning punch through a FuelCell midsole and ABZORB cushioning system. Inspired by the split-second decisions that fire off the brain’s synapses, a herringbone traction pattern underfoot keeps your movements sharp and grounded while a plush textile upper keeps you cool for a summer’s worth of hoop sessions.
