The best New Balance shoe of all time – that says it all, right? Well, actually, no. The 574 might be our most unusual icon. It was developed as a reliable shoe that performs many different tasks well, not as a platform for revolutionary technologies or as a showcase for high-quality materials. It is precisely this modest, unpretentious versatility that has propelled the 574 into the ranks of the greats. As a hybrid road-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, which has made its way into shoe closets worldwide. Today, the 574 is synonymous with the revolutionary style of New Balance, which is wearable by everyone.
