The best New Balance shoe of all time – that says it all, right? No, not really. The 574 is perhaps our most unusual icon. The 574 was developed as a reliable shoe that excels in many different areas, not as a platform for revolutionary technologies or as a showcase model for high-quality materials. It is this humble, unpretentious versatility that has propelled the 574 into the ranks of the greats. As a hybrid street-trail construction, which is built on a wider last than the narrow racing silhouettes of previous generations, the 574 is a uniquely versatile mix of new, different, uncomplicated, robust, durable, and comfortable that has made its way into wardrobes around the world. Today, the 574 is synonymous with the revolutionary style of New Balance, designed to be worn by anyone.
