The best New Balance shoe of all time – that says it all, right? No, actually it doesn't. The 574 may be our most unusual icon. The 574 was designed as a reliable shoe that excels in many different areas, not as a platform for revolutionary technologies or as a flagship model 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 road-trail construction that builds on a wider last than the narrow racing silhouettes of the previous generation, the 574 is a uniquely versatile mix of new, different, straightforward, robust, durable, and comfortable, which has found its way into closets worldwide. The 574 is therefore today synonymous with the revolutionary style of New Balance that is wearable for everyone.
