Following on from yesterday’s Flimby Factory Tour we are going to have a closer look at the Lake District Pack, a series of M576 runners inspired by Flimby and the surrounding area. We think this is one of the strongest New Balance releases of recent years, combining one of their best trainers with some incredible detailing.

The pack launches this Friday at 00.01 GMT, and each of the three shoes is based on a famous Cumbrian landmark, St. Bedes, Scarfell and Derwent Water, each referenced in subtle details throughout the shoe. The pack also has a strong outdoorwear influence, in keeping with the popular Cumbrian pass-times of fell-walking, hiking and sailing and each shoe comes with a specially made map of the Lake District, unique to the series.

As you’d expect, numbers of the Lake District pack are really tight, but as you will have seen, we are offering you the chance to win all three shoes, simply by social-networking us your favourite ever New Balance release. Simply tell us your number 1 New Balance via Twitter , or Facebook by 6pm on Thursday to be in with a shout. For the record, mine is the 998, sadly I can’t win…

In the meantime, if you’d like any more info on this release, or its availability, drop us an email on info@endclothing.co.uk or call us on +44 191 231 3983.

24 Kilates are fast becoming experts of the collaboration, from Asics to Reebok, the Pamplona based sneaker store have been one of the leading lights in European trainer culture for a number of years and their colabs alway celebrate the best – and often lesser known – silhouettes around. For AW10 they have reworked classic runners, choosing styles that are often pushed out of the limelight by the likes of the Air Max and ZX series, in this case New Balance’s 577.

This is one of New Balance’s most revered styles, still made in England to the same, super-high Flimby standards, complete with ENCAP cushioned sole, and premium suede and leather uppers. The 24 Kilates guys have chosen to let this classic silhouette do most of the talking, keeping the colourways simple, bold and tasteful. The colour accents chosen reflect Barcelona’s hugely successful football team, and their famous red and blue striped kit, and the flashes of a single colour across these otherwise monochrome designs only serve to accentuate the timeless lines of the 577.

As you can see from these preview shots, the finish and detail is unbelievable, and numbers for this release are highly limited. We have already had a HUGE amount of interest, and with the 24 Kilates x New Balance 577 launching at 1 minute past midnight on Saturday, we’d advise getting in there early to avoid disappointment!

This Summer, New Balance have come up with one of their best collections in recent memory. The blogs are buzzing with talk of the Sonic pack, Pub Pack and the latest Made in England series, all of which are due to arrive here at End.

July’s Made in England collection features some of New Balance’s most loved styles, as well as a few lesser known trainers, all made in England, in the famous Flimby factory. There are OG colour way releases of the 577 and Pro Court, both of which are great Summer styles, showing off the New Balance eye for detail and top quality finishing. The 1300, one of our favourite runners, is back in three new colourways which use flashed of bold colour to great effect.

The Sonic Pack is a great example of the forward thinking that has made New Balance one of the most famous names in running. Replacing stitched seams with sonic welding, the panels of the shoes are fused together with heat and pressure, giving a sleek, seamless version of the original 577 shape. Limited numbers, and subtle styling mean that the Sonics are sure to become a future classic like so many other New Balance styles.

November 9th 1989 saw millions of people glued to their TV sets, watching one of the most important moments in modern history unfold in front of them as the wall that separated East from West Berlin finally came down, re-uniting a city – and indeed a country – that had been divided for over 40 years. The wall was seen as a physical representation of the Iron Curtain that separated the Eastern Bloc from the West, and finally, after a month of protests the 87 mile long concrete construction finally began to topple.

20 years on, proud Berliners are celebrating this historic moment, and world-famous streetwear store Overkill have chosen to recognise this great event through a highly limited shoe release. Based on New Balance’s revered 577 silhouette, the Berlin Wall pack comes in three colours, representing the 3 sides involved in the fall of the wall. Red for the USSR – symbolising the Eastern Bloc – Blue for the US – who always supported the West, with then President Ronald Regan speaking out against the segregation during a speech a made in Berlin weeks before the wall fell – and a black colourway to represent Berlin’s Bear emblem.

The 577 is made from lightweight mesh and coloured nubuck, showcasing this classic silhouette, while the insole of each shoe features one of the many iconic images of the Wall. The photo differs between the colourways so these are a real draw for collectors, and with numbers so limited we’re sure they will sell out very quickly! We will be releasing more images, prices and confirmed drop dates as the information becomes available…

We now have the Crow and the Peacock shoes from the innovative New Balance Feral Creation range available to purchase. Each shoe represents a wild animal, and uses a stunning mix of materials and finishes to great effect.
