The 574 might be our unlikeliest icon. Built to be a reliable shoe that could do a lot of different things well, this unassuming, unpretentious versatility is exactly what launched the 574 into the ranks of all-time greats. As a hybrid road/trail design, the 574 offered a uniquely versatile mix of new, different, uncomplicated, rugged, durable, and comfortable that was adopted as a closet staple across the globe. Today, the 574 is synonymous with the boundary-defying New Balance style. The 574 NEW-B Hook & Loop for kids features the same style inspiration, pared down for the smallest feet.
