For the upcoming New Balance 576 20th Anniversary party at Leftfoot Holland Village, a special commemorative t-shirt was co-created by Sole Obsession, customizer Lazy and New Balance. The t-shirt is inspired by the Kings of Rulers, Crusaders and the Templar Knights, from an era where nobility reigned the lands. As battle lines would be drawn, death and battle would ensue as each member felt their right to become king and possess the single purple rose. The limited run of 50 shirts will be given out at the private invitation party.
