Last Friday, New Balance Singapore celebrated the 20th anniversary of the 576 alongside the official opening of Leftfoot Anthropology. A collection of 200 rare kicks from the past, present and future were exhibited – all killers and no fillers. The only other aspect that was more impressive was the sheer effort that was put in. A throne area was set up for the Purple Rose 576 and the Epic Room was set up to house some of the most exclusive New Balance kicks on the planet. Projectors were brought in to throw 576 and New Balance imagery around the store and out on to the street. This may have been the reason why the power kept tripping, which resulted in room temperature soaring a few notches above normal.
Nonetheless, people didn’t care, they were having a hell of a time. Food and booze on tap, music courtesy of DJ Ume from Japan, as well as a lightning quick graffiti installation by Jahan. It was in some ways a dream come true for Leftfoot founder, Anthony Ho. Stay tuned to Streething later this week for a look back at Leftfoot’s history, future plans and why the party meant so much to Anthony. In the mean time, here’s what went down during the party.
