Custom New Balance 574 – Tsunami
In honor of the lives lost during the 2004 Indian Ocean Earthquake sneaker customizer Briezrs designed these custom New Balance 574 sneakers known as Tsunami. The sneakers include a red, white, black and grey colorway with ‘wave’ like graphics in black and grey around the toe and ankle. The nicely matched colorway and the subtle graphics make for an overall nice look for the New Balance 574 shoes and the fact its a dedication piece for a terrible situation which happened 4 years ago and took the lives of innocent people i gotta show my respect. Briezrs always does a nice job with his custom sneakers, the designs are always unique, such as his Pixelation Puma he did awhile back.
