New Balance for Burn Rubber | MT580BR: Available 11/26/10
New Balance for Burn Rubber | MT580 Collaboration | Available 11/26/10
Historically the New Balance MT580 is a shoe released out of Asia with various collaborators. This marks the first time that the shoe has been collaborated on and brought through by the New Balance America team.
In business since 2004 Burn Rubber is Metro Detroit’s first premium sneaker boutique. The Burn Rubber name is a play on a phrase from the Motor City’s car culture. The name came from the comparison of the use of sneakers on a person to the use of tires on a car. Burn Rubber is known throughout their community as the place to get hard to find, limited edition sneakers and clothing.
Burn Rubber made the shoe their own by applying a shop colored theme and utilizing materials in unique ways. The custom designed argyle pattern that lines the inside of the shoe was created to incorporate all of the company’s branded colors. A reflective 3M material, originally developed to reflect light for night running, was also used throughout the mostly gray shoe to give the design another dimension. The majority of the shoe design is comprised of New Balance’s premium nubuck and gray mesh, and completed with a touch of patent leather and a classic gum sole.
As one of the most recognizable aspects of the Burn Rubber brand they have chosen to include the shop’s mascot on the hangtag provided with each shoe. The Chef, originally created to be “just another T-Shirt design”, ended up taking on a life of its own. The photo shoot for this project was done from the perspective of a chef and was intended to bring light to the story of Burn Rubber’s popular logo & style.
The Burn Rubber MT580 will be available on November 26th at www.burnrubberdetroit.com and at Burn Rubber’s Royal Oak Location (202 W Fourth Street, Royal Oak, MI 48067).

Im Getting 2 Pair
Congrats!!! Keep doing your thing fellas. Keep holding it down for the “D” and the Mitten…
Any chances of these being copped online or over the phone?
are these going to come in a size 7 men?
i love the shoe and its dope but 150.00 is taxing for that model of new balance. i could see if it was a 998 or something crazy
i’m just nitpicking though they’ll sell and if they were like 100-125 range i’d think it over
The New Balance MT580 is one of the brand’s most limited models… This one has been done with premium materials and in a very limited production run. The price is more than reasonable.
do they come in size 7.5 men?
same question(or nearly) as the guy above. what sizes will they come in?
same question as above 2 guys. what range of size will they come in?
i need that BR hat.
what is the range of the shoe sizes you will offer?
i want to get my son one of these pairs cause they look dope but he is a 7.5 or 8. will you have his size?
correction: hes a 7.5 new balance
same here haha. im planning to get this for my son too.
3000th comment!!!!!
oh oops… my bad…
Just to answer a couple of questions, the shoe will be offered from size 6 – 12, 13, & 14. They are $150 + tax. And last but not least, they will be for sale on our webstore @ midnight on thanksgiving night. Also, there is a hat & some tees that will be releasing that same night also.
I went to see an advance model at the store. Looks really really sharp. Like the BurnRubber tag. They were only showing a sample of the grey. I want some.
they will be offered like in between sizes(7.5,8.5,etc)right? im sorry if im asking too many questions.
^ I’m not a store employe but yeah they come in .5 in sizes 6.5, 7.5 etc. etc all the way to 11.5 then theres just 12, 13 & 14 (Only those don’t come in .5s) Thats what 6-12, 13, 14 mean.
Can’t wait for them to drop!
Just 1 question, on the webstore, they’re going to drop at Midnight from time zone? (Eastern, Central OR Pacidic time zone.)
As you can tell, I do not plan on missing the drop & looking foward to any matching Ts OR hats!
Eastern standard time, there will be tees & a hat & yes, it is a midnight release on thanksgiving night @ midnight.
Yo, any word on how these run? True size 11 here in Forces/J’s/Dunks. But I take an 11.5 in Air Max Runners.
Stay true to size with these like a lot of NB?
@ Ro: Huge thanks for the release info!
@ trife: I was told they’ll fit True-To-Size.
^ Thank you, sir.
Can’t wait to grab these….hopefully the online release won’t be too crazy.
will these come with the argyle laces too???
and if im a 10.5 in the 574, should i stick with a 10.5 in these??
Also I noticed glue stains around the toe box and edging off the suede at the toe box looks messy, are these cleaned up???
you can get a good shot of it in this link you guys have posted.
