The latest New Balance collaboration is done in partnership with Colorado-based Topo Designs who has experience in the field of accessories and footwear. The capsule presents a strong, urban-forward aesthetic that is adorned and accented by contemporary sensibilities, as well as beige and red colorways.
Hypebeast calls specific attention to the All Coasts 574 — a fresh take on the New Balance 574, complete with a custom grid-print sockliner, rope laces, and a creamy suede upper that is accented by hits of red and black.
Other products in the Topo Designs x New Balance collaboration include the Rover Backpack and the more versatile Quick Pack, as well as a 100% cotton long-sleeve tee.
The collection will be made available starting October 11th.
