A New Chapter in the Stone Island and New Balance Collaboration
The successful series of product collaborations between Stone Island and New Balance, which started in 2021, continues with the unveiling of the second installment of the New Balance 574 Legacy model.
Stone Island’s Expertise in Colour Research and Experimentation
The New 574 Legacy displays Stone Island’s mastery in colour research and experimentation, which has resulted in the creation of more than 60,000 unique dye recipes over time. The new model features distinctive shades of green, mustard yellow, and grey, taking inspiration from archival items from 1988 including a mid-green silk-effect POLYESTER MICROFIBER outer piece and a deep grey PANNO JACQUARD inner shell, accented with mustard yellow stripes.
Innovative Design Elements in the New Release
The latest versions of the model utilize materials from Stone Island’s rich archive, spanning collections from 1987-1989. The design incorporates a multi-textural approach to New Balance’s historic silhouette, with slight updates. Features include a Nubuck overlay on a ripstop upper, inspired by an AW ’88’89 archive shell created entirely in a layer of heat-sealed PVC. The New Balance ‘N’ logo takes its texture from the rubber elbow patch of a SS ’88 RAW CANVAS blouson, concluding the design with a nylon tongue and terry collar, inspired by the iridescent AW ’88’89 NYLON RIPSTOP short parka.
Additional Design Features and Technology
Additional design elements include a Stone Island Compass logo patch on the tongue, reflective heel tabs, EVA foam midsole with ENCAP technology, and a rubber outsole. These elements seamlessly blend practical inspiration and innovation with everyday wearability.
