New Balance stands a cut above the rest when it comes to the utilization of premium materials on lifestyle shoes, executed tastefully through “Made In” collections that set a high standard for the rest of the sneaker economy. While “Made In USA” shoes tend to capture more attention, the Boston brand’s “Made In UK” line has established itself as a reliable source for elevated, contemporary designs that walk the line between streetwear and high fashion.
In this latest installment, New Balance delivers a “Moonstruck” 576 complete with a premium build and versatile palette. Luxe nubuck, textile, and synthetic material encompasses the upper on this pair, providing a touch of luxury along with durability and performance benefit. Tan coloring on the tongue and heel offers a departure from the otherwise monotone coloring, while a standard ENCAP midsole completes the shoe underneath.
This premium edition of the New Balance 576 comes with a hefty price tag of $240, available on newbalance.com on February 8th.
