"The best New Balance sneakers ever" says it all, right? Actually, no. The 574 might be our most unlikely icon. The 574 was built to be a reliable shoe that could do many different things well, rather than a platform for cutting-edge technology or a showcase for premium materials. This understated, uncompromising versatility is exactly what propelled the 574 into the all-time greats hall of fame. Featuring a road/trail hybrid design built on a wider last than the narrow running styles of the previous generation, the 574 offers a new combination of unique versatility, differentiation, ruggedness, durability, and comfort that has become a wardrobe staple, all over the world. That's why the 574 is now synonymous with the boundary-pushing style of New Balance, and that's why everyone wears them.
