Matt Varga It feels like everyone is familiar with the New Balance formula; vintage aesthetics meet a blend of suede, leather and mesh. While that equation still bears fruit on a regular basis (look no further than the Botas de fútbol New Balance New Balance Furon V7 First Edition Gold Pack FG 1000 or Action Bronson New Balance 1906R), the key to staying relevant is throwing an off-speed pitch right before full saturation. The New Balance Jungen GradeBoys 574 Grau Blau “Silver Metallic” is a perfect example, adding reflective patent leather onto its familiar profile.
Sure, metallic notes aren’t a shock for anyone fluent in tech runner styles, but the material switch-up is plenty notable on its own merits. Matching that change with an eclectic mix of lavender and “Taro Green” on the edges creates a real space age atmosphere, attacking retro-futurism from a 1960s Jetsons sort of angle. In the finer details there’s intrigue as well, with an orbital New Balance logo stamped on the insole, a touch shared by a set of patent leather New Balance x 8New Balance M991AEF New Balance Jungen GradeBoys 574 Grau Blau brings a ton of extra charm to this wonky colorway, and if the special edition touches here are a sign of something larger, we’re excited to see where this theme can leuc in the future.
