Set to release next month, B:MING by BEAMS bring their signature aesthetic to the Boston brand's staple, reworking the model with a mix of organic tones and vintage cues. The entire upper sticks to a single palette, using shaggy suede and mesh to build subtle texture into a muted base, while a burst of mustard yellow hits the logo, tongue and inner lining, cutting through the monotone base with precision. A red tongue label also gives the colab a final archival stamp, rounding out the classic NB colour blocking.

Elsewhere, functional details include white laces and a clean ENCAP midsole that break the darker upper tones while enhancing comfort. The ENCAP technology combines soft EVA cushioning with a durable polyurethane rim, offering the kind of support and energy return made for extended wear. A black toe cap and heel counter bring increased depth and weight, anchoring the design without throwing off the balance. Finally, the speckled outsole leans into an outdoor feel, offering a slight edge that plays well against the softer materials up top.

The B:MING by BEAMS x New Balance 574 'Mushroom' is expected to launch exclusively on the both the New Balance and BEAMS webstores. Stay tuned to Sneaker Freaker for more updates.
