"The most New Balance shoes ever" says it all, right? Actually, no. The 574 might be our most unlikely icon. The 574 was designed to be a reliable shoe capable of doing many different things well, rather than as a platform to launch revolutionary technology or a showcase for premium materials. This unpretentious versatility is exactly what has made the 574 one of the most famous models of all time. With a hybrid street/trail design, built on a wider shape compared to the narrow running silhouettes of the previous generation, the 574 offered a unique and versatile mix of a new, different, simple, sturdy, durable, and comfortable model that has been adopted as a benchmark footwear worldwide. That’s why today the 574 is synonymous with New Balance's boundary-pushing style, and can be worn by anyone.
