New Balance is throwing a birthday celebration of sorts for one of its favorite factories with the "Flimby 35th Anniversary" pack seen here. The shoes, all made in the U.K. at the brand's Flimby factory, will be available on Aug. 5.

The factory has long been the source of cherished silhouettes, with models like the English-made 1500 coming from the Cumbrian sneaker product line.

Ahead of the launch of the 1500, 770, 991, and Epic styles pictured, New Balance brought a handful of top collectors from around the world to its Flimby factory to make their own one-off sneakers.
