Re-launched for the first time in more than 30 years is the 455, an original 1979 trail shoe that has been updated with modern materials and sophisticated color blocking for spring/summer 2009.

Designed and manufactured in New Balance’s factory in Flimby, England, the 455 has a three layer lugged outsole capable of dispersing shock and offering excellent traction-a lot of bells and whistles that stem from the fact that this was an actual award-winning trail shoe more than 30 years ago. The 455 was the trail shoe of its day and today remains a classic.

The 455 is finally available stateside for both men and women and is available in six colorways including: grey/turquoise/navy, brown/salmon/red, beige/lemon, blue/red, brown/mustard and grey/red.

The New Balance 455 Collection will be available worldwide beginning in April 2009 and will continue to roll out throughout the spring. The 455 will retail for $85.00.
