      Dude, please show me a NB tag that says Made in Japan. I'm pretty sure most Japanese only releases are made in China, Vietnam or the Phillipines.  Made in England NBs are also pretty close to handmade. There are a lot of B grades that make it out of the plant, but they are clearly marked because the tag on the inside is totally different.  Sounds like you got some free B grades. Please never rank China made above English made, it's just wrong.

            New Balance 576 Pub Pack
            (missing the 576TRO-Royal Oak)

            Red Lions

            Kings Head

            The pack is based on the New Balance Flimby Plant's (in UK, know this!!) favorite pubs. The liner is based off their barstool apolstery and the insole is based off their floors. Oiled leather uppers with buttery nubuck accents. The TRO is orange with a sea green terry cloth liner.

              New Balance 576 Lake District Pack
              Complete

              Scafell Pike (my favorite shoe period)

              St Bees

              Derwent Water

              Based off the Lake District National Park near the Flimby Plant. All have moleskin liners and a map of the areas on the insole. Scafell Pike is made of a rugged finished leather and cotton duck. St Bees is made of a smooth leather that is sanded, so it looks like weathered rocks in the water, it also has a tightly woven canvas. Derwent Water is made of a waxy finished leather and waxed sail cloth (I added navy waxed laced, they came with white). My fav pack from the Flimby Plant. The English own, when it comes to running shoes.

                  I treated one of these NB 576 with obernaufs, the other is untreated. What do you guys think?  The obernaufs repaired the toe box and heel areas nicely.

                                    These are ridiculous. I need the navy colorway, same materials, but instead of cotton duck, it's waxed sail cloth. And instead of the HBT ankle liner, it's flannel tartan. Don't sleep. And, as always, Made in the United Kingdom, know it.

                                            Ball and Buck did the collab with NB for those.  I wish I would have got those myself!  I've seen a few pair on eBay, but the asking prices were high…
