New Balance's long-selling "576" sneaker has five attractive features.

Attraction of New Balance 576 (1) “Handmade in US or UK factories

New Balance sneakers are made in the USA, the UK, and Asia; those made in the USA and the UK are characterized by the use of good materials and solid construction. The 576 is available in both USA and UK models. Unlike the Asian-made models, which are made by auto-manufacturing using machines, the USA and UK models are handmade by craftsmen. Every detail, including the stitching inside the shoe, is well crafted.

The first difference between UK-made 576s and USA-made 576s is the design of the shoe tongue. Depending on the production location, the words “MADE IN ENGLAND” and “MADE IN U.S.A.” are applied to the shoe. Also, in the midsole, UK-made shoes have only C-CAP, while USA-made shoes have a combination of ENCAP, which is also used in the 574. Many 576s distributed in the Japanese market are made in the UK.

Appeal of New Balance 576 (2) “High-quality materials

The use of high-quality materials in the upper is another notable feature of the 576. Suede material is a staple of New Balance shoes, but the 576 uses nubuck leather, which has a shorter pile and a more matte texture than suede.

The UK model of the 576 is also available in smooth leather. This water-repellent material is made of high quality leather containing oil that is comfortable to the foot, so it is waterproof and can withstand a little bit of rain. The N mark on the side is the same color, and the beige color used for the edging gives a good impression of a mode taste finish. Many New Balance models are made of suede or mesh, but the 576 made of oiled leather has a luxurious, adult look that is appealing.
