These New Balance 580 Elite sneakers offer a pop of freshness with their cool, monochromatic mint colorway.
The New Balance 580 Elite sneaker was recently released in a color pack called 'Playful,' which features a trio of monochromatic designs, including brick red and black editions. The sneakers are covered almost exclusively in a single color, with the exception of an accent of white on the front half of the outsole. The New Balance 580 Elite mint colorway stands out because of its unusual pale green color. While black and red are more conventional color choices for sneakers, the mint green hue is at once eye-catchingly fashionable and subdued enough to be worn with everyday clothes.
