RELEASE THE SECOND DROP OF THE 574 LEGACY
June 3rd, 2024 – Building upon the series of collaborative product releases that began in 2021, Stone Island and New Balance announce the second drop of the New Balance 574 Legacy model.
Showcasing Stone Island’s expertise in colour research and experimentation, crafting more than 60,000 different dye recipes over the years, the two distinctive colourways of the new 574 Legacy feature shades of green, mustard yellow, and grey inspired by archival items from 1988 including AW '88'89 mid-green silk-effect POLYESTER MICROFIBER outer piece and a deep grey PANNO JACQUARD inner shell edged with mustard yellow stripes.
The latest iterations draw from Stone Island’s rich archive of materials that span collections from 1987-1989 in an unexpected multi-textural approach to New Balance’s historic silhouette, which has been slightly updated. Nubuck is overlaid on a ripstop upper inspired by an AW '88'89 archive shell created entirely in a layer of heat-sealed PVC, while the texture applied to the New Balance ‘N’ logo draws from the rubber elbow patch of a SS '88 RAW CANVAS blouson. The design is completed with a nylon tongue and terry collar based on the iridescent AW '88'89 NYLON RIPSTOP short parka, a Stone Island Compass logo patch on the tongue inspired by an archival badge with green stitching, reflective heel tabs, EVA foam midsole with ENCAP technology, and a rubber outsole, seamlessly fusing utilitarian inspiration and innovation with everyday wearability.
