Okay we know what you are thinking and no, Kanye West isn’t taking his talents to New Balance. Instead sneaker designer Alexander John was commissioned by Andre Wright Jr to get busy one time and these were the results.
The colorway itself is pretty powerful in the same way that red and gold can evoke an image of McDonald’s in the right mind. Black with bits of neon and hyper pink immediately bring to mind the daring Nike Air Yeezy 2 silhouette and it translates well to the New Balance 580 silhouette. The custom colorway bled over into the laces as Alexander John reached out to Aglit Italy for grey suede laces to serve as the cherry on top of this already slick design. Only 10 pair are being made so you can already imagine how hard or pricey getting your hands on these will get.
If you’d like to investigate further Alexander John has an impressive body of work up for showcase on his Instagram page and Andre Wright Jr’s blog does a bit of flexing as well. Let us know what you think of the New Balance 580 “NBEEZY” below.
