'The most New Balance shoe ever' says it all. right? No. actually. The 574 might be our unlikeliest icon. The 574 was built to be a reliable shoe that could do a lot of different things well rather than as a platform for revolutionary technology. or as a premium materials showcase. This unassuming. unpretentious versatility is exactly what launched the 574 into the ranks of all-time greats. As a hybrid road/trail design built on a wider last than the previous generation's narrow racing silhouettes. the 574 offered a uniquely versatile mix of new. different. uncomplicated. rugged. durable. and comfortable that was adopted as a closet staple across the globe. That's why today. the 574 is synonymous with the boundary defying New Balance style. and worn by anyone.
