A Haiku Dedication to the New Balance 574 – Holabird Sports

Haiku is one of the most fun ways to write a poem. Originated in Japan, these poems are often based on the 5-7-5 syllable format and involve juxtaposing two separate ideas with a focus on nature.

New Balance just released a new batch of their popular 574 lifestyle shoes and we wanted to celebrate their arrival with some fun wordplay. Therefore, we present a series of haiku--with a twist inspired by New Balance. We used a 5-7-4 format and thankfully New Balance helped out by going with a nature theme for most of the new colors. Feel free to leave your best 5-7-4 haiku in the comment section for some quick fun!
