The 574 sneaker by New Balance has been a true retro classic for over three decades. Originally released as an advanced running shoe using premium materials and construction, Featuring a chunky retro silhouette with light blue and white uppers and mesh underlays, rubber outsole, lace up fastening and signature branding to the tongue and sides. "The most New Balance shoe of all time." The message is clear, isn't it? Perhaps not completely. The 574 model might just be our most unlikely icon. The 574 was built to be dependable and versatile, not to showcase groundbreaking technology or premium materials. And it's precisely that simple, unpretentious versatility that has elevated the 574 to the most iconic footwear status. As a hybrid road/trail shoe with a greater width than the narrow running models of the previous generation, the 574 offered a unique, versatile mix of newness, difference, simplicity, toughness, durability, and comfort that was embraced as a wardrobe staple in the world. That's why today, the 574 embodies New Balance's breakthrough style, a style that is universal.
