New Balance 580 Elite (Pinball Pack)

UPDATE: These are well deserved for a second run purely for how good that 3M coating looks. If your holding it down Stateside, they are currently available at stockists including Wish ATL.

Would you believe that a bunch of American cities actually banned Pinball machines between the 1940s and the 1970s?! – like that was the actually 'worst' thing that was happening in America at the time... yeah right! Whatever the case, the old embargo has not stopped New Balance from using the family friendly fun as the muse for the latest double header of releases. One side of the flipper features a 3M covering accented with black, while the other half comes wrapped up in navy, complemented by hits of red and gold. Wherever you invest your hard earned scrilla, both can be acquired now via Rise NYC.
