From the 'Backpack Collection' unveiled in August 2012, this New Balance ML574 takes cues from the universal school essential. Woven nylon covers the upper of this Blue edition, with a diamond-shaped logo tag on the tongue. Leather 'N' insignia, updated heel support and a flag label drive the representative look forward. Sitting under a standard EVA midsole with stabilizing Encap technology, the rubber outsole finalizes the design.
