About the New Balance 574 Legacy "Black Angora"

Black and cream is a hard contrast handled softly here, because both tones arrive on suede. Angora, New Balance's warm off-white, fills the body and the midsole, while black takes the toe cap, the saddle, the eyestay and the heel, with the sidewall N in black on cream so it registers at a glance. The nap on both materials keeps the boundary between them from looking cut with a knife.

Legacy is the tier New Balance released this under, and it arrived at $100 on October 30, 2022, above what the brand charges for the standard version of the shoe. The core does not change: the heel still carries ENCAP, soft EVA held inside a firmer polyurethane rim, and the outline is the one Steven Smith reached by fitting a 576 upper onto a 577 sole. What a two-tone black and cream treatment adds is contrast in the right place. The 574 upper is a pattern of several separate overlay pieces, and picking them out in black against a pale ground makes that structure the design rather than hiding it.
