Why New Balance x Danner Is a Winning Collaboration
East Coast meets West for two hard-wearing new models.
Teaming rugged materials with a sharp aesthetic, the “American Pioneer” collaboration between Boston brand New Balance and Portland-based hiking specialist Danner does what collaborations should do and brings together the best of both worlds. The East and West Coast link-up has resulted in the classic 585 running shoe receiving a high-end leather update, known as the M585DR, while Danner’s popular “Danner Light” model gets a New Balance makeover and sleek grey colorway. Which means whether you’re hitting mountaintop or street corner, there’s a model for you.
The release date for both models is October 1, with the price of the “M585DR” ¥42,000 (approximately $413 USD) and the “Danner Light” ¥63,000 JPY (approximately $619 USD). Shop online at New Balance official shop, BILLY’S Online and STUMPTOWN Online.
