size? x Staple Design x New Balance 577 ‘Black Pigeon’

Non c’è due senza tre ed ecco il tre: il terzo modello nato dalla famigerata collaborazione tra Staple Design e New Balance, questa volta con il supporto degli inglesi di size?. Dopo due edizioni pensate e realizzate in USA, questa volta Jeff Staple ha chiamato in causa il noto retailer inglese e la divisione UK di New Balance per chiudere il cerchio in bellezza e proporre una versione Made in England, proprio nell’anno del 30esimo anniversario della fabbrica di Flimby. Il modello scelto come base della collaborazione è quindi un cult della divisione inglese, la 577,  proposta con tomaia in pelle premium e nylon ripstop in nero con i tradizionali accenti rosati ispirati, come le precedenti due collaborazioni, al volatile più urbano di sempre nonchè il logo di Staple, il piccione.

Dal 17 Novembre tra i negozi size? e online.

size? x Staple Design x New Balance 577 ‘Black Pigeon’

In the beginning there were three pigeons; one grey, one white and one black in colour. When they were ready, the grey and white pigeons left the roost on their journey to explore their surroundings, the city of New York and the challenges it would bring. The Black Pigeon, however, was the outcast of the family. Kicked out of the nest for being too down-low and dirty he decided to travel the world, setting his mind on eventually meeting up with his elder siblings in The Big Apple. But on his quest, the Black Pigeon became lost. After a long flight, the youngest of the three pigeon brothers set himself down, only he wasn’t in New York; this was London.

For the third installment of the famed collaboration series between Staple Design and New Balance we enter the design process, adding our spin on one of New Balance’s most iconic silhouettes with the release of the 577 ‘Black Pigeon’. Celebrating 30 years of manufacturing at New Balance’s UK factory in Flimby, Cumbria, the size? x Staple Design x New Balance 577 utilises a mixture of handpicked premium materials throughout. With the ‘Black Pigeon’ toughened up on his travels, the shoe features a heavy-duty construction with a honeycombed Ripstop Nylon toe-box and robust leather paneled upper. Not forgetting the creature comforts, a soft pink felt lines the inner and adds extra warmth.
