New Balance 577 Napes Pack – Available Now

The NEW BALANCE 577 NAPES PACK is inspired by the Napes Needle and the equipment used by those who try to climb it.

The Napes Needle is a prominent rock pinnacle that’s arguably one of the most famous rock climbs in the UK. The climb is approximately 20 metres high and is situated amongst the Napes Crags on the southern side of Great Gable, a mountain in the heart of the English Lake District. This duo of shoes sport bright and bold colour combinations as a nod to the colours often seen on climbing equipment, and are built in a mix of rugged ripstop nylon and suede. The first pair sees a burgundy base overlaid by a mix of grey and navy, with pops of teal and yellow, whilst the second pair combines grey and black over a blue base, with the pop provided by orange and green. Custom circular tongue labels feature a mountain graphic, with NB branding, above THE NAPES and Made In England text. NY210100 is embroidered on the lateral side of the heel, which is the OS grid reference for the Napes Needle. When it comes to lacing up some rock climbing themed shoes, there’s no other choice than ropes and, for this duo, the multicoloured rope laces tie the colourways together nicely. Underneath, the midsoles continue the detailed style with triangular ‘teeth’, in teal or orange respectively, at the forefoot and grey cracked detailing on the heel against a white backdrop. Rounding things off nicely down below are practical black outsoles on each of the colourways. You might not want to use these to scale mountains, but they will definitely look good pounding the pavement.
