Burn Rubber x 577 'Joe Louis'

Detroit streetwear retailer Burn Rubber partnered with New Balance for this premium rendition of their classic 577 silhouette to honor one of Detroit’s most famous sons. The Burn Rubber x 577 'Joe Louis’ pairs a black, brown and white leather upper inspired by vintage boxing gloves, with a gum outsole underfoot. The shoe also comes with a special violin-case packaging inspired by Louis’s childhood. The story goes that in order to appease his mother, who wanted him to become a violinist, Louis would carry his boxing gloves around in a violin case.
