Tokyo Street-Inspired Tonal Footwear

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The New Balance 574 Sneaker Model Gets a New Tonal Palette

— August 2, 2021 — Fashion
New Balance introduces a new tonal iteration of 574 sneaker model that is inspired by the bustling streets of Tokyo alongside Japanese retail label mita. Tokyo serves as the inspiration behind the palette nodding to the specific street style that stands out.

It translates through blue hues that can be found at the forefoot overlay and heel overlays with navy blue suede. Mesh makes up the collars, the toe boxes, and the tongues for a touch of breathability, whereas the rest of the overlays care completed in gray for an entirely grounded contrast. Reflective details make up the branding detail that can be seen at the heel with the N logos. Completing the silhouette is a dramatic tongue and foam of the shoe's throat.
