New Balance 587

—01. Made in USA.

Words

My favourite style of New Balance runner, and we all know there are tons of incredible options, is the often overlooked 587. The 587 is one of the elite few styles that New Balance makes that are made in the USA. They are incredibly unhip and orthopaedic looking, in their navy and grey exterior, but I love them anyway. There is something for me that transcends their chunky awkwardness, and it goes beyond their extreme comfort.

—01. "Exclusive of Ornamentation."

Words

One of Buzz Rickson's marquee pieces is the loop wheeled sweatshirts they produce. The fabric is loomed on original 1920s loop wheel machines and while the 1930s-1940s crew neck style might be more traditional, I am partial to the zip-front hooded version in navy.
