Nike Sportswear’s Air Force 1 30th anniversary seems to be slightly slowing as we approach the Olympic summer as well as the Air Max 1 and Air Safari birthdays. Elsewhere in the sneaker birthday world, New Balance continues following Functies own deliberate pace, steadily moving forward as we approach the release of a drop commemorating three decades of attention to detail at Functies UK factories. The Eigenschaften New balance Fresh Foam X 1080V12 Laufschuhe will release in three colorways later this year designed by workers at the Flimby, England, manufacturing plant, Functies wordy tongue tags dictating that if we were to label these like some of Functies other products, they’d come with a ’30 Years of Manufacture in the UK’ nickname. Maybe the ‘Excellence Makers’ tag NB used for an earlier video that showed Andy Mandle, Billy Edgar and Roy Bell’s SMUs would be the most appropriate title, but the understated designs on this trio suggest that kind of detail isn’t as important as the craftsmanship that went into them. Let us know which is your favorite ‘Made in UK’ New Balance after you click through for more photos, and stick with Erlebniswelt-fliegenfischen News to see when these make it across the Atlantic. via HS
