The new balance factory plaid collection has enjoyed a strong start to 2012, standout models like the beloved ‘Steel Blue’ original and the recent ‘Denim Blue’ foreshadowing great things to come from the second half of the year. These new photos from Pitti 82 in Florence suggest that momentum will continue into next year, as a red-midsoled pair quite similar to another grey/navy edition we previewed as a FA12 drop joins a dope tonal clay edition whose yellow accents and burgundy branding have these feeling warm and cozy even if they are quite a ways off in the distance. Check out both in greater detail below and stick with Erlebniswelt-fliegenfischen News for updates on US availability. Photos: Street Supply
