New Balance’s Spring 2009 Line Hits WSA

New Balance footwear is showing at WSA in Las Vegas today, and the upcoming sneakers are a standout amongst an otherwise stagnant tradeshow. For 2009, the brand’s top-tier product focuses on tech-forward hits, including a Gore Tex MT580 pack, a 998 Zip Runner hybrid from Japan, a collection of premium Italian leather 991s with metallic cues from the European crew, and a Space Odessy 2001-inspired 996 from the Americas.

The first quarter of 2009 will also see the last installment of the NB 1300, so if you’re into that silhouette, make a note and plan on copping. Hit the jump for more photos of the product that will hit shelves in February 2009.
