- The New Balance 740 was first introduced in the 2000s as a performance running shoe appreciated for its comfort and reliability on pavement. It has since been reissued and adopted as a lifestyle sneaker, aligning with the "dad shoe" trend. - The shoe's design features an open-knit mesh upper and a segmented midsole that includes New Balance's ABZORB foam technology, which provides cushioning and impact absorption. - Like the 740, the New Balance 509 is another recently revived archival model, originally released in the early 2010s as a technical running shoe. - For its modern relaunch, the 509's design was updated, borrowing the ABZORB-cushioned sole unit from the popular New Balance 530 model. - The initial re-release of the 509 was a collaboration with Korean fashion designer Do Hee Kim, whose designs were inspired by ice dyeing techniques to create unique color patterns. - Brixton was founded in 2004 by three friends who wanted to convey their lifestyle through products inspired by music and culture. - The brand's Autumn/Winter '26 collection focuses on versatile apparel suitable for layering, including lightweight jackets, flannels, carpenter pants, and signature headwear.
