New Balance 574 ‘Fruit Pack’ | Available

When the New Balance 574 debuted in grey suede back in 1988, there were exactly four flavors of Starburst candy.  Fast forward a quarter-century and we get so many new sneakers in so many new themes and colorways that NB has already utilized the ‘Candy Pack’ name for a pack of 996s.  So despite the fact that each color combo on this new trio of NB574s could correspond to a different flavor of Mars fruit chews, they’re aimed squarely at one and none of them.  The New Balance ‘Fruit Pack’ feels more vital thanks to its name conjuring images of raw juice and sweet flesh instead of HFCS, each of the three pairs among the more vibrant footwear for fall.  Peep more images after the jump and look for these at select New Balance retailers including LA’s Millennium Shoes.
