New Balance's skateboarding division - Numeric - produces some awesome sneaks for their skate team, inspired by classic runner and lifestyle designs. The 574 shoes are tough and breathable.
The uppers are made from a blend of suede and mesh, balancing (lol) lightweight breathability and comfort with griptape-fighting strength. The tongue and ankle are lined and padded for comfort and the rubber heel cap and clip add support and stability. It has an expanded PU insole and leather reinforcements to the logo and heel.
The midsole is made from a shock-absorbing synthetic and the outsole and tread are made from a tough and durable rubber with a grippy tread. Branding is ample with a logo to the sides, print to the back and a woven tongue tag.
