Colorful Spring-Ready Sneakers

New Baalnce and eYe Junya Watanabe MAN Join on the 574 Legacy Shoe

— April 21, 2022 — Lifestyle
New Balance works in collaboration with eYe Junya Watanabe MAN on three tonal palettes of the 574 Legacy sneaker, which takes New Balance's 574 silhouette as the base foundation. It made its debut during the Junya Watanabe MAN Spring/Summer 2022 runway show and is made from a blend of suede and premium leather overlaying on top.

Additional details include the classic NB logo at the tongue, the large co-branding throughout the silhouette, and a textured rubber material stitched onto the heel counter. All of this sits on top of the ENCAP midsole foundation and grooved rubber outsoles. The three new seasonal 574 colorways now include navy and black, green and gray, and gray and navy.
