If you recall, Burn Rubber’s Rick Williams wore a red, white and navy New Balance 501 for day 1 of the Distinct Life x New Balance 30 For 30. For day 4, we see him in the New Balance 501 again. This time, it features a simple yet stylish black/blue color scheme. Besides being extremely lightweight and breathable, the 501 is one of the more comfortable New Balance models ever created. The outsole is very similar to that seen on the classic New Balance 574 model. As seen in the photos, black nylon controls the majority of the upper with a little touch of black suede on the toe cap and heel panel. The blue hints, such as the inner lining and tongue logo, bring a nice, vibrant element to this silhouette, along with the white laces and New Balance logo. This New Balance 501 Black/Blue will hit retailers on July 11, 2011.
