New Balance’s 57/40 approaches their iconic 574 silhouette with a fresh point of view and a willingness to experiment. Where the original 574’s go-anywhere versatility was the result of a design that blended road and trail features, the 57/40 combines the familiar with a series of exaggerated features inspired by the bold technical running designs of the ‘80s and ‘90s. An overall sleeker silhouette provided by a slimmer last combines with a range of exaggerated features. The unique midsole combines a flared take on the classic 574 construction with ‘90s tech inspired details, while the mudguard and eyerow feature the distinctive wavy embellishments of the ‘80s.
New Balance and STAUD take the design of the XC-72 onto the Pacific Coast Highway, as part of a new collaborative capsule inspired by ‘80s and ‘90s surf fashions.
The XC-72’s heritage running-informed material mix is adorned with a pristine sand reminiscent neutral palette. A white nylon upper is set against the subtle, tonal contrast of soft beige hairy suede overlays. A patent leather, oversize N logo, also outfitted in soft beige, adds a glossy finishing touch.
