New Balance 580

Rise To The Heights With a Trail-Inspired New Balance 580

A chunky, rollbar-equipped trail design makes New Balance 580 one of the most distinctive models in New Balance history. New Balance 580, originally an obscure regional adaptation of the 585, began to become a fixture on the trendsetting streets of Harajuku. Some of the first-ever collective releases took place on the 580, making it legendary. An icon is back to life with the newly reissued NB 500. The modernized look of a slimmed down toe and reduced collar height is combined with a new material iteration featuring an all-suede upper. Additionally, the inclusion of C-CAP cushioning in the midsole emphasizes its role in providing unparalleled comfort and support for both men and women.

The New Balance 580 Has Become a Global Icon for Women

NB 500 is not as popular with the public as other silhouettes from the American brand’s portfolio. It’s cult-like in some places around the globe. In Japan, the New Balance 580 has an iconic status. Like no other nation, Japan draws heavily on American traditions. The Land of the Rising Sun was very popular for New Balance models with the “Made in USA” label. This exclusive designation was proudly displayed on the 1995 model 585. The Japanese team redefined and launched the New Balance MT580 with MT in 1996, after introducing some improvements, based on their design and properties, i.e. men’s trail running. The style and inspiration behind the New Balance 580 contribute to its iconic and fashion-forward nature, with no overly subversive differences between the M585 and the MT580.
