The Joe Freshgoods x New Balance 574 ‘Conversations Amongst Us’ continues a collaborative project between the Chicago-based designer and the Black Soles, an employee-led New Balance community committed to representation and empowerment. Inspired by meaningful communications that effect positive social change, the retro runner features resilient, transparent, and reflective materials. The upper combines cream-colored ripstop with tonal leather overlays and clear TPU detailing at the collar. A metallic silver ‘N’ logo adorns the quarter panel, while ‘Conversations Amongst Us’ is inscribed across the heel tabs of the left and right shoe.
