New Balance has announced a collaboration with Paul Smith, the British fashion designer, on a limited edition celebrating the 30th anniversary of the New Balance 576 trainer. The collection includes a men's trainer in black leather and a women's trainer in white leather. Both versions feature premium leather uppers and EVA midsole cushioning. Inspired by New Balance's 576 MiUK classic running shoe, the shoes are made at the company's British factory in Flimby, Cumbria. They feature Paul Smith's signature stripe on the trim and back detail. The collection also includes a football boot based on New Balance's MiUK One, with white leather and branding for both New Balance and Paul Smith. The football boot has a lightweight Super-Flex sole plate and a removable cushioned footbed. Its asymmetrical heel counter is meant to protect the achilles tendon.
