The New Balance 5740 Pizza is a fitting and fully loaded tribute to the authentic, tri-state style pizza. They mark the footwear giant’s pizza-inspired collaboration with the custom sneaker artist Mache. A white mesh upper is overlaid with a brown suede representing cheese and crust with classic red sauce at the tongue and the heel. The green accents throughout the design serve as a visual seasoning blend. The design is rounded out with a red checkered tablecloth tongue label and a sock liner with a piping-hot graphic of hot cheese sliding down a paper plate. A solitary red splash at the forefoot midsole adds the finishing touch. The native New Yorker with a studio workspace in another pizza stronghold Connecticut flaunts his pure pizza love with this snack of a pair! New Balance 5740 Pizza features: White mesh upper and suede accents give the pair a premium look and airy feel. Tongue label pays homage to the local pizza joints. The red splash is a homage to a hazard of the trade experienced by countless pizza connoisseurs. Mache signature logo on the sockliner reps the collaboration.
