Debuting way, way back in 1989, the New Balance 577 has aged well. Really well. (Not better than Moid Khan’s mom, however.) The technical runner turned casual shoe recently celebrated its 20th Anniversary with two new colorways. Specifically, a navy blue/grey/white and grey/grey/white will release. The limited edition kicks feature premium suede uppers and mesh accents. Comfort is brought about via New Balance’s patented Encap technology. The New Balance 577 20th Anniversary pack will hit NB accounts worldwide in the coming weeks.
