The best New Balance shoe of all time – that says it all, right? Well, not really. The 574 is perhaps our most unconventional icon. The 574 was designed as a reliable shoe that excels in a variety of areas, rather than as a platform for revolutionary technologies or as a showcase for premium materials. It is precisely this humble, unpretentious versatility that has propelled the 574 into the ranks of the very great. 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, uncomplicated, robust, durable, and comfortable, making its way into shoe closets worldwide. Today, the 574 is synonymous with New Balance's revolutionary style that is wearable by everyone.
