New Balance x Hypebeast MRT580 Exploration Review
Description
In 2016, New Balance 580 celebrated its 20th anniversary and to highlight the occasion, the shoes and sportswear brand collaborated with Hypebeast and released the re-engineered New Balance MRT580 “Hypebeast Exploration”. Dubbed “Space”, these kicks took inspiration from space exploration which explains the black upper, made from leather and with matte finishing sprinkled with white spots. Built on top of a REVlite midsole and showered with NB branding on the quarter panel and tongue, this creation sure gives off a futuristic look and feel.

Space exploration has been a staple of human life for the past decades and the New Balance MRT580 “Hypebeast Exploration” specifically the “Space” version represents it perfectly. A result of the partnership between New Balance and Hypebeast, it comes in an all-black upper sprinkled with white spots to illustrate the deep dark space and stars, plus the REVlite midsole in white, completing the reinvented 580 silhouette.
