The New Balance Rainier returns, a silhouette with a unique history in mountaineering. Originally released in 1982, it was designed as a lightweight hiking option for climbing school guides who preferred running shoes over traditional heavy boots. This iteration is famously associated with Lou Whitaker's 1984 Mount Everest summit.
