New Balance is known for their no-nonsense runners and if you keep your ear to the streets, you know about their dope, mostly Japan-exclusive collaborations. But how about taking a page from Nike’s book and swapping out their classics’ traditional soles for a more lifestyle-oriented vulcanized bottom? That’s just what you get here with the New Balance V74, which is more ore less a slimmed down, canvas-uppered take on the immortal NB574 runner. Pairs in navy blue and black have already popped up in Singapore, so stick with Sneaker News for updates on a stateside release. via ST
