New Balance's Iconic 574 Texas Barbecue

The footwear company put together a tasteful poolside barbecue party at the South Congress Hotel. The color direction came from the 574 sneaker, which meant grays everywhere, from charcoal-based cocktails to tacos wrapped in newspaper print to gray linens on seats. The event was produced by Crush & Lovely, with the hotel providing the all-gray catering.
