New Balance MT580 B-3 Inspired

words_Nick Engvall

Earlier this week we had a look at the MA-1 inspired New Balance MT580, the response was pretty much unanimous “well done.” Today we have a look at another military inspired version of the MT580. Unlike the MA-1 version which featured a mostly nylon upper, this B-3 inspired version comes in a aged leather and weather resistant Gore-tex mesh. The B-3 version also takes a simpler approach with colorways, and a traditional approach with the New Balance “N” logo on the side. The only noticeable “B-3″ detailing comes on the under side of the tongue, which is where you’ll find a soft wool normally found on the inner liner of the B-3 Jacket.

So which colorway is more appealing? This B-3 or the army green MA-1 colorway.

   The New Balance Classics team is a PROBLEM. I love almost every New Balance classic release that they have put out for the past year and a half.

   they look great to me, simple colorway, and you get wool under the tongue which can keep your feet warmer.
