The best New Balance shoe of all time – that says it all, doesn't it? No, not really. The 574 might just be our most unconventional icon. It was designed as a reliable shoe that excels at many different things, not as a platform for revolutionary technologies or as a flagship model for high-quality materials. It is this humble, unpretentious versatility that has catapulted the 574 into the ranks of the greats.

As a hybrid street-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, making its way into shoe cabinets around the world. Today, the 574 is synonymous with New Balance's revolutionary style that is wearable for everyone.
