As a seasoned urban explorer who’s spent countless hours traipsing through New York City’s bustling Flower District, I can’t help but feel a deep connection to Todd Snyder’s latest collaboration with New Balance. The 574 Legacy “Parchment & Pine” Pack is more than just a stylish pair of kicks; it’s a tribute to the city’s holiday spirit, encapsulated in a beautifully crafted sneaker.
Todd Snyder and New Balance have a history of successful collaborations in sneaker design. Building upon their past projects such as the 997 “Triborough,” 992 “From Away,” NB 57/40 “Stony Beach,” and numerous others, they have come together again to launch the 574 Legacy “Parchment & Pine” Pack. This collection offers a nature-inspired reimagining of one of New Balance’s most iconic shoe styles.
According to Snyder, the 574 Legacy design boasts an upper made of both smooth leather and suede, as well as a fuzzy version of New Balance’s “N” emblem on the side. The midsole is filled with EVA foam and ENCAP cushioning for ultimate comfort, while a robust polyurethane rim provides solid support.
In creating the color narrative, Snyder found motivation from the vibrant Flower District of New York City during the festive season. The “Parchment” shade reflects a warm brown tone similar to the parchment paper often used for wrapping floral bouquets on these streets. On the other hand, the “Pine” colorway embodies a deep evergreen hue, symbolizing the traditional holiday greenery that adorns the area at this time of year.
Introduced in 2022, the New Balance 574 Legacy pays tribute to the enduring popularity of its original 574 design, which debuted in 1988. The current version preserves many of the classic design’s characteristics but offers a sleeker look and upgraded midsole and outsole. Additionally, it features stronger materials for improved durability and comfort.
You can now buy the Todd Snyder x New Balance 574 Legacy “Parchment & Pine” Collection, which is unique to Todd Snyder stores and their online platform, priced at $120 USD. Have a look at the design in the gallery provided above.
