The best New Balance shoe of all time – that says it all, right? No, not really. The 574 might be our most unusual icon. The 574 was developed as a reliable shoe that does many different things well, not as a platform for revolutionary technologies or a showcase model for high-quality materials. It is precisely this humble, unpretentious versatility that has catapulted the 574 into the ranks of the true greats. As a hybrid street-trail construction that is built on a wider last than the narrow racing silhouettes of previous generations, the 574 is a uniquely versatile mix of new, different, straightforward, sturdy, durable, and comfortable, which has made its way into shoe closets worldwide. Today, the 574 is synonymous with the revolutionary style of New Balance that is wearable by everyone.
