The "ultimate" New Balance shoe – does that say it all? Actually, no. The 574 may be our most unlikely icon. The 574 was made to be a reliable shoe that could do many different things well, rather than a platform for revolutionary technologies or a showcase for premium materials. It's this unassuming, unpretentious versatility that launched the 574 into the best-selling rankings of all time. With a hybrid road/trail construction built on a wider last than the narrow racing silhouettes of the previous generation, the 574 offers a unique combination of versatility, differentiation, durability, and comfort that has been embraced as a wardrobe staple worldwide. That's why the 574 is now synonymous with New Balance's boundary-pushing style, worn by everyone.
