New Balance unveils a new tonal iteration of the 576 sneaker model that falls under its Made in UK series with the launch of Mood Indigo. The shoes are made with a blend of Off White, white, and Mood Indigo. It is also constructed from a blend of fabric materials including leather, mesh, synthetic, and pigskin suede.
The detailing that most define the shoe can be seen in the form of the custom branding on the lateral side of the shoe, the tongue, and the heel counter areas. Additionally, New Balance rounds out the shoe with a new ENCAP midsole cushioning at the base foundation along with a motion control CR device to help with support and comfort.
