Junya Watanabe Goes All-Black on the New Balance 574

Menswear minimalist Junya Watanabe, of Comme des Garçons, has enjoyed a longstanding partnership with New Balance, the duo combining for such models as the NB1500, the Comp 100, and even the NB990v5. He’s always taken a very reserved approach, sometimes leaving the shoe in a singular hue without changing any structural elements at all.

Back at it again, the pair have decided to go for the 574. They’ve worked on it before, plastering the chunky boy in a hiking aesthetic and a very tasteful lighter grey. Sitting under the eYe Comme des Garçons Junya Watanabe MAN banner, the NB574 has been decked out in a full-blown black-on-black patent leather look. Contrast arrives via the white tongue branding and insole detail. Watanabe has also debossed eYe onto the heel.

If you’re after the all-black, super sleek, and crispy eYe Comme des Garçons Junya Watanabe MAN x New Balance 574, keep an eye on retailers such as Farfetch where they’ll be arriving very soon.
