Last night the New Balance Experience store in New York City held an event for invited guests and one of the features there was these New Balance 574′s Custom “Gradient” Pack. The shoes unveiled for the night are exclusive to the New Balance store and will be sold in very limited quantities. Those that attended the event where able to grab their pair before anyone else. So, whatever wasn’t sold last night is up for grabs to anyone that can make it to the store…
For those wondering about the New Balance 574 Custom coming to the NB Experience store (mentioned here), you can look forward to it sometime in April. You’ll be able to walk into the store and fully customize a NB574C. There is no exact date at the moment, but stay tuned as I will be invited to showcase the process of the shoe being made. From beginning to end, I will provide you with photos and try my best to make you feel like you are next to me. Look to that sometime mid-month in April if all goes well.
Stay tuned for my photos of the event last night and for some photos of the Australian brand, Two Thirds. A clothing brand that New Balance has decided to partner with.

I like those grey orange. I would love to see them make the custom shoe in front of me.
Anybody have any idea what shade of grey is used on the orange pair?
Louie. I’d guess Rock Grey…
Thanks. I might make a pair for myself with pretty much the same colors.
Sup Hommie! Bummed I missed this, never fails at work with some shit breaking when you wanna leave.. smh.. Anyhow, I’m liking a few of those, I’ve actually played with that same orange/castlerock combination on the site.. Was there any upside aside from getting those at the store on the spot to making them yourself on the site? That’s gonna be some cool shit when they start making the 574 at the store, I’m thinking they might not be able to keep up with the demand.. I mean who won’t want a pair right? Did you take turns wearing the 993 sneaker suit?.. LMAO..
Wow, those two colorways in the last pic are so clean, I want them
