New Balance wanted to design a sneaker that reduced waste

Following the news of the new balance 574 women “Weld” Pack releasing soon at select retailers stateside, we now have information regarding another New Balance 574 that is now available overseas. Much like the aforementioned “Weld” Pack, this particular New Balance 574 has been constructed using very high-quality materials. In detail, this shoe possesses a gold perforated canvas base (tongue, toe box, collar area) overlayed by a rich black Italian leather upper. To match the gold perforated sections, this shoe features New Balance branding and a heel tab of the same color.

New Balance wanted to design a sneaker that reduced waste. Enter sonic welding, a construction process popular in industries involving tech materials and camping equipment. The first company to apply technique to sneakers, the Boston-based company is finally bringing the new balance 574 women “Sonic Weld” Pack to the States. Three 574s were designed for the pack. All of them use solid colored uppers of suede with white midsoles and accent bits on the heel. Upper-matching mesh fills out the toe box and is used for the tongue and ankle area of each sneaker, as well. Grey/Yellow, Brown/Orange and Charcoal/Green color pairings have all been designed and should be at your favorite shop soon.

To celebrate the tenth anniversary of atmos, New Balance presented the opportunity to create another sneaker to the Japanese retailer. Working on a new balance 574 sonic weld, the pair designed something a little different than we’re used to seeing, eventually giving it the “A10″ moniker. Black suede covers the majority of this colorful sneaker, appearing on the toe, midfoot, quarter panels and heel. In the toe box, near the collar and on the side logos, a multicolor plain print is implemented. Teal patent is used near the ankle, and lime can found on the liner. Blue embroidery surrounds the N on the outer sides, as well as the 10 that is sewn into the mid-panels of the medial sides.

We first previewed this new balance 574 sonic weld “Sonic Welded” Pack in mid-January, and those who commented stated that this was a very nice collection of sneakers. At the time, it was stated that this pack would release during the fall/winter season; however, we have just learned that the New Balance 574 “Sonic Welded” Pack is now available at select retailers overseas. The New Balance 574 incorporated in the “Sonic Welded” Pack is not your everyday sneaker. Each sneaker was constructed using heat and medal to mold sections together. With that said, these New Balance 574s appear to own a seamless base primarily comprised of nubuck with a touch of mesh (toe box, collar, tongue). Colors include black/green, grey/yellow and brown/orange.
