The Avian-Inspired New Balance MIUK Yard Pack Is Coming Our Way

The NEW BALANCE MIUK YARD PACK pays tribute to the avian friends who helped inspire the brand back in 1906.

William J. Riley founded the New Balance Arch Support Company, coming up with the name ‘New Balance’ by observing chickens in his yard. To demonstrate the way his arch supports worked, he kept a chicken’s foot on his office desk, explaining to customers that the chicken’s three-clawed foot resulted in perfect balance. There are many footwear designs that have been inspired by nature, but this has to be one of the most interesting and unique examples out there.

The MIUK Yard Pack takes inspiration from the colours of the roosters in William’s yard, applying them to 5 Flimby-made classics: the EPICTR, M991.5, M577, M1500 and M576, paying tribute to New Balance’s humble beginnings. With a rich selection of materials and textures, the pack really shows off the craftsmanship that goes into the New Balance footwear: we’re big fans of this collection.
