New Balance Olive 420

I've been paying more and more attention to New Balance lately as it's been interesting to see some of the collaborations and models from both the UK and the USA. This pair however isn't made in the USA, the UK nor is an exciting collaboration - it's just ta classic 420 in a great colour combination. I really love the olive green with grey and the touch of the subdued red on the tongue and heel. I think if these were to get a gum sole transplanted onto them I would make a point of hunting them down from one of the WP Lavori shops in Italy - where this pair is currently available. I think this color use is very sharp and I would love to implement it onto a 1500 or a version of the 998 coming this spring.

Growing up in a Connecticut-prep school environment, these shoes were actually the go-to choice for many students outside of the dress-code enforced classroom(only if I could forget the painful memories of North Face fleeces and Phish fans). Although I like that pair of Nike's you posted earlier last week or so a bit more, these shoes are as classic as New Balance gets for me. I have a North Face Purple Label jacket this pair would go really well with.
