Raekwon once professed that, "On the Island they tried to challenge God for the New Bals," and he just customized a pair of 574s that live up to that standard.

Rae, one of the cornerstones of the Wu-Tang Clan, was invited by New Balance recently to "get a sneak peak at upcoming styles and to pick up some custom NB1s," according to the brand's Twitter account. The result was a pair of black-and-yellow 574s, that were Made in USA and all too dope.

It's a far cry from an actual collaboration between the two entities, but they serve as an inspiration from anyone looking to make their own pair, which can be done here.
