The best New Balance shoe of all time says it all, right? Well, not really. The 574 might be our most unlikely icon. The 574 was designed to be a reliable shoe that excels at many different things, rather than as a platform for revolutionary technologies or as a showcase for high-quality materials. This humble, unpretentious versatility is exactly what has catapulted the 574 into the ranks of the greats. As a hybrid street/trail design built on a wider last than the narrow racing silhouettes of the previous generation, the 574 offered a uniquely versatile mix of new, different, uncomplicated, robust, durable, and comfortable that has been embraced worldwide. That’s why the 574 is synonymous with New Balance's limitless style today and is worn by everyone. The 574 Hook & Loop for kids brings the same style inspiration down to growing feet.
