For 2011’s APAC (Asia Pacific) Project, New Balance extended its annual design invitation between Streething & Singaporean sneaker boutique, Leftfoot. The Past, Present and Future theme is a play on New Balance’s running heritage that was born in 1906 and transcended the boundaries of sports.The collection is divided into three sets. New Balance has engaged us and Leftfoot to re-imagine the classic 574 running shoe in Past, Present and Future representations. There will be only 600 pairs available for each of the three exclusive designs.
The Past HM574 – New Balance x Streething
The HM574 features a mid cut upper on a classic 574 sole unit. Using the old heritage colors – Grey and Navy, the shoe still serves as timeless classic. The deliberate aged sole unit represents a vintage nostalgia injected to the shoe.
The Present H574J – New Balance x Leftfoot
Using new contrasting colours – Green and Brown, the H574J present a contemporary take on New Balance. Seen as a loud version of the 574, these re-engineered shoes take after boots and are inspired by current fashion trends.

This version represents New Balance’s 574 in the future. Using lighter and slimmer soles, the lightweight shoe still draws identity and inspiration from the 574 silhouette. This HS77 has been re- imagined with lightweight materials, new colors and patterns to bring us an entirely new fashion forward.
