New Balance Joy Division trainers

A white trainer, the catalogue number FACT 10, and a few very familiar ripples. An early detour into sneaker culture.

Made by
Dylan Adair / New Balance
Year
2007
Catalogued

Contemporary reporting in 2007 documented Joy Division trainers designed by Dylan Adair for New Balance. The details included ripple forms and FACT 10, the album’s Factory Records number.

The surviving coverage is more useful as a design record than a shopping guide. Production and availability accounts vary, so this archive does not describe the shoes as a widely released retail edition.
