The New Balance 577 is often overshadowed by the 574 (and 576, to a lesser extent), but that’s not how 2012 ended. Jeff Staple’s ‘Black Pigeon’ was one of the early Holiday season’s standout releases, but now that we’re firmly in the new year, let’s look forward instead of back. The future holds a dope new 577TBN, a team nike vs team adidas basketball tournament mix with burgundy and navy hits that keeps with the brand’s reputation for low-key colorways. And it’s also something we’ve not seen before; further proof that there are still tons more subtle New Bals waiting in the wings and a suggestion to pre-order this one before it hits in February at stores like Hanon.
