Though we, as well as many other New Balance fans, are happy to see the MT580 come to the US, one model that still spends most of its time overseas in the 577. This silhouette that is constructed in the UK has been used in memorable collabs with Sneakers N Stuff, Thomas I Punkt, and Limited Edt to name a few. The Dutch based shop lfstl (”lifestyle”) is the latest to work with New Balance on the 577 assembling a shoe that is inspired by the character of their hometown of Rotterdam, Netherlands.

In total the shoe features five unique materials including pigskin suede, black premium croc leather, white patent, perforated suede and of course a gum sole. Each of the different colors represent a characteristic of their hometown such as the white, black, and grey signifying the cities buildings, blue to represent the harbor and river that divides the city, and purple that represents the open-minded character of the city’s citizens. This shoe will release this August at lfstl. Info thanks to High Snobiety.

The theme for the shoes is the CMYK color wheel that combines cyan, magenta, yellow, and key (black). The mixture of bright colors is a little too much these days and the CMYK theme has been done in failed attempts by other brands. Let us know what you think about them.

Just a few days short of the halfway mark through 2008, pics have surfaced of some of New Balance’s plans for the MT580 for 2009. The long awaited arrival of the silhouette made famous in Japan with countless collabs and great colorways made its way to the US only a few months ago but thankfully its visit won’t be short lived.

These MT580s have the best features that appeal to heads as well as runners. A durable outsole and cushioning midole make for a lasting, comfortable ride. The Rollbar may provide an interesting aethetic look for heads, but this provides lateral support for the wearer. Lastly, few will complain with the lightweight and breathable mesh panels on the toebox and ankle collar. Photos from Freshness.

The Provider x New Balance 1500 is one of the most talked about New Balance collabs amongst heads in quite a long time. Only 40 pairs will go up for sale at 6PM Melbourne, Australia time Saturday which is 4AM Eastern (1AM Pacific). The only place to grab them online will be at provider.com.au. Best of luck to those trying to grab these!

New Balance has teased Stateside sneakerheads for years dangling out great makeups of the MT580, but finally they are bringing the silhouette to the US in a big way. Not long ago we gave you an in depth look at the MT580’s debut to the US, but this summer will see a solid set of this shoe. The “Takedown Pack” features three pairs of New Balance MT580s dressed in materials and colors similar to the Super Team 33 Luggage Pack that was released a couple months ago. The pair on the left is inspired by modern Swiss Army luggage while the pair on the right is inspired by early 20th century steamer trunks that the European elite used when traveling across the Atlantic to America.

With recent exchange rates and shipping costs 580 fans have grown accustomed to spending well over the $200 mark, but these will set you back only $100 when they arrive in August.  Additional photos of each are posted after the jump made available by Crooked Tongues.

The shoes will release May 31st and Stussy and Hectic in Japan for 16,590¥ ($161US). Photos thanks to Honeyee.
