New Balance has given a ton of attention to its classics catalog over the past several months, giving some of their best additional time in the sun while old standbys like this adapt to a new role. There are still more new balance men s fortitech 7 2n1 short releases than any other NB silo, but the increased prevalence of models like the 9– series, 1300 and 1500 make this new collection even more of a treat. The NB574 ‘Backpack Collection’ features five solid canvas designs each accented by golden brown suede on their side latest ‘N’ and the diamond loop on their tongue to which you could presumably attach a water bottle. The implication of an ’80s era Eastpak is probably a better look than ball-and-chaining a Nalgene to your feet, so check out more images below and stick with Erlebniswelt-fliegenfischen News for updates on this August 2012 release. via FNG
