The trail running style MT580 from New Balance has had a successful run as the template behind collaborative ideas from the likes of Stussy, UNDFTD and realmad HECTIC among others. Although the last few days we’ve seen some Jenny Craig versions of popular reinterpreted styles, the chunk-master MT580 will always have a niche as New Balance’s own popular marquee model in Asia. This particular two-pack is inspired by Mad Magazine’s Spy vs. Spy comic. Three other colorways are also slated for release in the first quarter of 2008. Look for these to release in April of 2008.
