The best New Balance shoe of all time says it all, right? Not really. The 574 could be our most unlikely legend. The 574 was developed as a reliable shoe that can fulfill many different functions at once, rather than as a platform for revolutionary technologies or as a showcase model for high-quality materials. This humble, unpretentious versatility is exactly what has catapulted the 574 into the ranks of the best. Designed as a hybrid for both street and trail, it builds on a wider last than the narrow running silhouettes of the previous generation, offering a uniquely versatile blend of new, different, uncomplicated, robust, durable, and comfortable elements that have gained global acceptance. That’s why the 574 is synonymous with New Balance's exceptional style today and is worn by everyone.
