Packer Shoes x New Balance 580 - Pine Barrens

This upcoming Packer Shoes x New Balance 580, dubbed “Pine Barrens,” will be the latest variation of the popular runner, which also continues to celebrate the silhouette’s 20th anniversary this year. In an East Coast affair, the New Jersey-based retailer and Boston footwear label join forces to create a special rendition that embraces the New Jersey Pine Barrens — a one million acre forest located at the southern portion of the state. Amongst this dense forestation, there is an urban legend where a mythical creature has terrorized forest wanderers since the 1700s, although visual evidence has not been confirmed. Essentially drawing inspiration from both the greenery and legendary inhabitant, the sneaker flaunts a bold red tones across its premium suede and ballistic mesh construction. Hits of purple on the laces and midsole provide a complementing contrast, while pine forest graphic adorns the tongue label and inner lining, in addition to 3M accents across. Extremely limited to 500 pairs only, you can purchase it exclusively at PS for a retail price tag of $160, starting this Friday, March 25th.
