Singapore’s Limited Edt And Mr. Sabotage Unveil the New Balance 580 “Urban Islander II”

New Balance's revival of the 580 model takes an intriguing turn with the "Urban Islander II," a collaborative project that unites New Balance, Singapore’s Limited Edt, and Mr. Sabotage. This partnership follows the successful "Urban Islander" release in 2020, which masterfully combined urban streetwear with tropical inspirations.

The "Urban Islander II" centers around the New Balance 580, a silhouette that has experienced a resurgence of popularity. This particular edition dons a sophisticated color palette of beige and black, a nod to the urban aspect of Singapore’s landscape, yet maintaining a hint of the island’s tropical flair. A standout feature of this collaboration is the pineapple pattern, a recurring theme from the first "Urban Islander" project, which graces the sockliner and inner lining of the shoe, injecting a playful yet understated element into the design.

Attention to detail and quality is evident in the choice of materials, with premium suede and 3M reflective accents ensuring both style and functionality. These elements elevate the shoe's appearance and enhance its visibility and durability, making it a practical choice for city life.

The Rollbar-assisted sole unit adds another layer to the design, opting for a lighter color scheme that complements the shoe's overall aesthetic. This sole provides exceptional support and stability and aligns with the collaboration's tropical theme.

Beyond the footwear, the "Urban Islander II" capsule extends to a range of apparel and accessories. This includes a selection of items such as a Helinox Chair One, OMBAK shirt and shorts, tote bag, hat, and socks, all adorned with the signature pineapple print and unified color scheme.

The New Balance 580 "Urban Islander II" and the accompanying capsule collection will be released exclusively at Limited Edt shops, limitededt.com, and sbtgsurplus.com on December 15th.
