Stone Island and New Balance work together once again shining a spotlight on the 574 shoe. The two are no strangers to the silhouette and this marks their second take on the sneakers. The images of the upcoming launch were shared to fans online and it is detailed with a plethora of impressive updates.
The colorway is reminiscent of the first time the two worked on the shoe as it blends a militaristic palette of green and beige tones throughout the upper. Most of the sneaker is detailed with olive green as there is a beige tonal ripstop applied as its paneling around the heel and toe sections. It is rounded out by a two-tone midsole between grey and white tones and finished with branding and reflective details.
