Boring & beautiful is a way to describe Junya Watanabe‘s newest collaboration with New Balance, which sees the minimalistic 574 trainers get a handsome Watanabe rework.

Living in a world where trainer collaborations happen on a weekly basis, it’s important to understand that while we love the eye-catching, standout trainer collabs, not every pair needs to be so extravagant. As long as it’s got a nice colourway and model, that’ll be enough. 

Junya Watanabe‘s new New Balance collab, sees the Comme des Garçons designer rework three New Balance 574 silhouettes in grey, beige, and khaki – all including shades of off-white.

Often described as New Balance’s most basic models, Watanabe’s 574 trainers are a handsome collection that have been constructed with water-resistant nubuck for the transitional weather we’re getting plenty of.

Junya Watanabe x New Balance 574’s are available now from Mytheresa for £290.00. Take a look at the 574s below, where you can also peep the recent Junya Watanabe x New Balance steer smooth trainers in black from Mytheresa.
