New Balance 580 Phantom

The 580 is one of the most distinctive models in New Balance history, and not simply because of its chunky, Rollbar-equipped, trail design. Originally an obscure, regional adaptation of the 585, the 580 began to turn heads as a fixture on the trendsetting streets of Harajuku. When it served as the canvas for some of the first-ever collaborative releases, the 580 became legendary. The modernized look of a slimmed down toe and reduced collar height is combined with construction that comes as close to a one-to-one recreation of the OG materials, compounds, and features as humanly possible. Coming in a 90s palette, the Phantom colourway features various tones, including colorblocking that sees a magenta open mesh upper featuring grey shades on the suede overlays and lateral “N” logos. Panels are highlighted in blue, green and orange, while the shoe sits atop mismatch-colored insoles, ABZORB cushioning and a black rubber outsole.
