The Napes Needle, a prominent rock pinnacle in the English Lake District, is one of the toughest challenges for even the most experienced of rock-climbers. That said, those who dare to traverse upwards need the proper gear fashioned with equally tough materials, like the ones used on this duo of New Balance 577 releases. The “Napes” Pack is inspired by the colorful and rugged equipment used by ambitious climbers, with high quality suedes and rip-stop mesh materials lending to that outdoor-friendly aesthetic. These will arrive at select New Balance retailers like Napes on July 27th, so get a first detailed look below.
