The original 580 was popular because of its good looks, historic because it introduced the concept of collaborations, and legendary because it was nearly impossible to obtain a pair outside of Japan. In fact, unless you were plugged into the early days of internet sneaker culture, you probably wouldn't have known the shoe existed at all. Stray Rats, a brand with lifelong connections to different subcultures, offer their own take on the iconic 580. Upper construction featuring nubuck and glossy nylon is outfitted in a blend of vibrant fluorescent shades and muted earth tones, inspired by the aesthetic conventions of 2007, the year the 580 debuted stateside. The unique color combinations pay tribute to the era of digital camera photos of sneaker collections, uploaded to message boards and forums, by evoking rare colorways set against home interior backgrounds.

Comfortable, stylish, and chunky in a durable way, the 580s deserve more attention. These beef and broccoli colored shoes are supportive and gorgeous, with lush materials and a reasonable price point.They should pair with Japanese artists and make a line in Japan. No matter its origin, the 580 is the perfect fit for Japanese workwear fashion innovation.

I bought this shoe based on how it looked and the colors. I'm usually a 574 wearer, but I had been wanting to try a different model for quite awhile now. And this is the shoe model that jumped out to me. All I can say I think found my new favorite model from New Balance! Super comfortable and the colors are amazing in person. If you're itching to try something new I highly recommend the 580's, you will not be disappointed!

Got my first pair of new balances (550) and loved them so I got these for everyday use, they are the best. They have a mesh toe so you don't have to worry about creasing, super comfortable and stylish. Generally true to size but if anything they run slightly large, perfect for wide feet. I still recommend getting your normal size, don't size up. NB if you're reading this please make 580s in brown.

Love the color, love the details, love the hairy suede. Very comfortable shoe. Normally a 12.5 in most brands but can get away with 12s in a lot of New Balance (thank god, didn't come in a half size after 12). Palace and New Balance crushed this one. Can't see what you do next. Happy birthday to me. Bought a vintage Patagonia fleece in same colors just to set it off. I have a feeling I'll be wearing them all the time.
I really like how this sneaker looks. It has a unique style to it. I especially like the pocket it includes. They are very comfortable to walk in. I can spend all day in them without feeling any pain. These are a great pair to have in anybody collection.
I am on my feet A LOT and as an avid runner I wanted stylish sneakers for walking around throughout the day that would cushion my feet and go with just about any outfit. THESE ARE IT!! absolutely love em!
Got some 580s. Waited two weeks. Got the shoes. QC issues everywhere. Grey paint transfer all over yellow midsole. Support shank scratched and glue stains. Return to local outlet. They agreed 100%
I thought these shoes were pretty great looking online, but in hand they exceeded my expectations. The material has a great texture to it and the quality is noticeably next level. I got in another pair of sneakers the same day and was pretty bummed to see how lacking in quality the other pair was next to these. Props to these though.The secret stash pockets on the tongue are also a very cool bonus feature. I'm impressed and glad to drop the $ on these.
I'm here for this shoe. 580 collabs have been crushing it between the palace ones and this. Got both, love both. It's the colorway and the comfort for me.Hope yall keep it up with these materials and unique colorways.
These are SO comfortable and I get soooo many compliments. I wear them as everyday white sneakers and they are the perfect amount of chunky without being too big. And the green color way is so pretty
