New Balance’s UK team release the “Napes Pack” for the 577
silhouette, dressed out in two bright colorways inspired by the distinct
colors of mountaineering gear. Although designed for the streets, the
“Napes Pack” specifically references the Napes Needle, a shard of rock
in England’s Lake District and one of the most difficult climbs in the
country, close to England’s highest mountain, Scafell Pike, and only
several miles away from New Balance’s UK factory located on the
district’s western edge, in Flimby.
The duo pack utilizes a combination of colorful rip-stop mesh and
suede on the upper, lending the pack a distinct outdoor aesthetic.
Meanwhile, the custom tongue labels and logo design, the addition of a
fluorescent strip around the mudguard, the Union Jack on the heel
counter, as well as the flecked multi-tonal round shoe laces complete
the look and feel of something you’d wear both up a mountain or scaling
the streets. All purchases from Caliroots come with an exclusive print
magazine, entitled “The Napes”, detailing the geographic area and the
inspiration behind this very English mountaineering pack.
