The "best New Balance shoe of all time" – that says it all, right? Well, not really. The 574 might be our most unconventional icon. It was designed as a reliable shoe that excels in many different areas, not as a platform for revolutionary technologies or a showcase for high-quality materials. It is precisely this humble, unpretentious versatility that has catapulted the 574 into the ranks of the greats. As a hybrid street-trail construction built on a wider last than the narrow racing silhouettes of previous generations, the 574 is a uniquely versatile mix of new, different, straightforward, robust, durable, and comfortable, making its way into shoe closets around the world. Today, the 574 is synonymous with the revolutionary style of New Balance that is wearable by everyone.
