Sneaker brands have been encouraging people worldwide to show their patriotism in anticipation of the World Cup. Oddly enough, this New Balance 576 wasn’t designed for the world championships of Soccer, but was instead meant to commemorate the opening of New Balance’s pop-up shop in Paris.
We previewed this pair before, which gave us a pretty good idea of what to expect, but this is our first complete look at this sneaker. Borrowing its design scheme from the French flag, this shoe uses a navy blue toe and toe box constructed of suede. The mid-panel and midfoot areas are white tumbled leather, and shoe a matching N logo outlined in 3M reflective material. Finally, the heel portion of the shoe is all red suede and shows off an embroidered flag. You’ll have to head to France to grab a pair of these, as they’re available only at the pop-up shop.
