New Balance presents a new textural update of the TDS Derby sneaker model, otherwise known as the 574 silhouettes. It sits on top of a ripple sole unit foundation and is highlighted by the neutral tonal leather throughout the upper.
It is stripped of the usual N logo on the side of the shoe as the brand's TOKYO DESIGN STUDIO updates the silhouette to a new angle. The original paneling is retailed along with the heel branding and the ENCAP bumper. The rest of the shoe has a clean look and is finished with the Vibram sole unit. In terms of color, it boasts neutral tones throughout with beige and white paneling over one another.
