New Balance launches its 574 sneaker model in a new neutral Incense colorway design. The palette features beige palettes and despite the inspiration behind it, it does not have any aroma to it. Most of the shoe's upper is made from TENCEL Lyocell materials and has chrome-free suede.
This is all complete in the Incense color with another shade making up the heel overlays and the N logo on the side of the shoe. Both of these sections contrast against the smooth leather makeup of the shoe and the tongue patches, which are made to look like a cork-like visual. The midsoles are done in a crisp white with gray in a colorblocking pattern atop a gum outsole foundation.
