The New Balance RC_1300 is the Perfect Anachronism

Rather than rest on their well-established laurels, New Balance continue innovating with new silhouettes like the RC_1300. Well, it’s half new, as it combines the 1300 upper with a modern ENCAP Reveal sole. Two new editions are primed to release within the next couple of weeks.

Rather than the multi-coloured smorgasbords that have previously dropped, these two go for classic colours that’ll fit right into any NB collection. One version is dipped in lush teal – this was previewed by Ronnie Fieg a while back – and the other is light grey (like the old M1300LG for anyone playing at home). Uppers aside, the star of the show is that shapely midsole backed up by cleated Vibram rubber tread.

Both colourways are due to hit atmos towards the end of the month, but keep your fingers crossed for an international drop.
