New Balance CM320M


Upon its debut in the 1970s, the 320 from New Balance was immediately heralded by Runner's World as the number 1 performer. With a return to vintage models in recent memory and an overall move away from chunky profiles, the 320 is enjoying a new bit of relevancy in 2008. This latest pack is inspired by early video game imagery. Available next month in three colorways at Mita.

New Balance CM576M


A new range of styles from New Balance have been released. The fabled 576 runner is seen in two colorways including another take on one of NB's marquee 576 retro releases earlier this year with ample use of blue. The other style incorporates a purple suede upper and mesh toebox. Available now at Mita.
