New Balance || #Flimby35

This year marks the 35th anniversary of New Balance’s Flimby factory. 

To celebrate, in July 2017, New Balance invited 6 of the world’s most passionate NB collectors to Flimby, UK to design their own unique, 1 of 1 shoe. Having submitted initial designs via email, the collectors arrived at the factory on the 4th of July to hand select materials and decide on finishing touches with expert help from New Balance’s own design team.

 Thomas Lindie (Aberdeen, Scotland) Rob Stewart (Glasgow, Scotland) Thomas Knoll (Leipzig, Germany) Ida Broen (Oslo, Norway), Tiago Escada Ramos (Lisbon, Portugal) and Richie Roxas, (Philadelphia, USA) were then able to watch their shoes being made before collecting them at specially held banquet on the factory floor.
