Hanon x Eschler x New Balance “Bionic Project”

After showing you yesterday the video of the production of the Hanon x Eschler x New Balance “Bionic Project”, we can finally show you the outcome of the collaboration – a pack of New Balance 576’s.

For this latest release they looked to explore the possibilities of connecting a performance fabric to an icon from the New Balance archive. This project sees the classic M576 running shoe reworked with Ceramic E3+, an innovative material developed by Eschler.

“Ceramic printing”, a special innovation by Christian Eschler AG of Bühler/CH, is a polyurethane-based coating embedded with diamond-hard ceramic particles. This particularly environmentally friendly innovation is completely free of solvents. Furthermore, the ceramic particles remain permanently embedded in the polyurethane. The main characteristics of the fabric are significantly higher wear and abrasion resistance than regular fabrics

The Bionic Project comprises of two M576 styles. Each model has a fully customized upper with featured detail that is unique to this release. Both have been manufactured at the world famous New balance Flimby factory and constructed with premium material sourced from across the globe. Look out for a release at Hanon and other premium retailers soon.

New Balance 577 for 2010

Even though it's "only" 20 years old (just consider how old some of its Flimby-made contemporaries are) the 577 feels like the elder statesman of New Balance's heritage artillery with its distinguished looks and arched, stealthy silhouette that takes well to premium materials and classy colour schemes. That's not to say we haven't seen the shoe given some wacky makeups - putting say, a Safari theme, or extrovert colours on this model is like putting sunglasses on an aged Airedale Terrier; novel, but kind of unnecessary. Unless it's UK-made, generally we don't mess with the 577. Some versions spotted in the States in sport shop chains just felt fake. We'd like to see the Mossad military-issue versions put out again, complete with Hebrew box lettering, but you can be assured that the 577NG (navy/grey) and 577CB (charcoal/black) will still be readily available in the new year. The 577CBG makeup had a palette akin to the white/red/brown versions (577WRB) but the white/green/brown 577WGB version however, feels fresh.
Both drop in March 2010.
