In 2004, New Balance formed a partnership with renowned Japanese brands Real Mad Hectic and Mita to create their seventh collaborative release, the MT580. This exclusive edition showcases a unique blend of materials including luxurious 'Ruby Wine' leather, contrast textile, and nubuck. Throughout the design, distinctive emblems serve as a nod to the participating brands. The two-tone EVA midsole, equipped with a roll bar insert, offers a perfect combination of stability and cushioning, while the rubber outsole ensures superior traction.
