The "ultimate New Balance shoe" – does that say it all? Actually, no. The 574 might be our most unlikely icon. The 574 was built as a reliable shoe that could do many different things well, not as a platform for cutting-edge technology or as a showcase for premium materials. It’s this assumed, unpretentious versatility that has launched the 574 into the all-time greats. Built as a hybrid road/trail design, constructed on a wider last than the narrow running silhouettes of the previous generation, the 574 offers a new take on versatility, differentiation, ruggedness, durability, and comfort that have become adopted as a wardrobe staple, all over the world. It’s why the 574 is now synonymous with the boundary-pushing style of New Balance, and worn by everyone.
