New Balance 576 X 'Lakes District Pack'

New Balance has done it AGAIN! 

These guys are hitting every mark with their "Made in England" proddy at the moment. New Balance, in case you don't know still make over 1 million pairs of sneaks in the UK each year. Employing over 200 people in their Flimby factory. Very much true to their heritage right...?

In this latest gift they have paid tribute to the beautiful surroundings of the factory, "The Lakes District". The shoe they chose was easy, with Flimby being the home of the 576 that was what had to be done! 

So to the sneaks.

There are 3 pairs, each representing a different part of the beautiful countryside.

M576CDW represents the Derwent Water area and is inspired by the water craft found on the lake. With detailing of Premium Leathers and Waxed Sail Cloth  toe box, it also has hints at a life vest with the yellow ankle collar. Top it off with round laces and a map of the lake on the tongue this is a must for any sailor!


 M576CSF is straight from the mountain top, using dark earthy tones to the Premium Leathers. This shoe pays homage to the mountainous area around Scafell Pike, with true hiking style from the laces to the heavy duty textile of the toe box!  You would feel as at home on the mountain as you would on the street!
  


And finally the M567CSB with its sandy, water splattered look to the leather the M567CSB is inspired by the rugged coastline of St Bees. We have been given again Premium Leathers that have been finished in a way that replicates water on beach stones. Teamed with canvas and rope detailing, its a win!




All 3 of these "Lakes District Pack" come with a Map of the Cumbria area, and are available now at Key Sole Melbourne

Cheers!
