BEAMS, a Japanese fashion retailer and label based in Tokyo, has unveiled an exclusive New Balance 574 colorway that expertly marries grayscale tones with cowhide overlays.
While no doubt the focal point for the entire silhouette is the gray hues, the Cowhide overlays serve to balance out the sneaker's overall aesthetic; they arrive in a dripped black color and wrap around the toe box and quarter panels. Meanwhile, the sneakers toe boxes and collars are dressed in a muted gray, while the shoe's tongue and leathers come in a stark white, providing additional contrast.
Other notable features of the BEAMS 574 colorway include black leather heel overlays, beige New Balance tongue branding, white midsections, and gum sole treading.
