The best New Balance shoe of all time – that says it all, doesn't it? No, actually it doesn't. The 574 may be our most unconventional icon. The 574 was developed as a reliable shoe that excels at many different tasks, not as a platform for revolutionary technologies or as a showcase for high-quality materials. It is precisely this modest, unpretentious versatility that has catapulted the 574 into the ranks of the greats. As a hybrid road-trail construction that builds on a wider last than the narrow racing silhouettes of the previous generation, the 574 is a uniquely versatile blend of new, different, uncomplicated, robust, durable, and comfortable that has made its way into shoe cabinets worldwide. The 574 is, therefore, today a synonym for the revolutionary style of New Balance that is wearable by everyone.
