New Balance 574

‘The ultimate New Balance shoe’ – that says it all, doesn’t it? No, not really. The 574 is perhaps one of the most unusual icons. The 574 was designed as a reliable shoe that excels at many different things, not as a platform for revolutionary technologies or a showcase for high-quality materials. It is precisely this modest, unpretentious versatility that has catapulted the 574 into the ranks of the all-time greats. As a hybrid road-trail design built on a wider last than the narrow racing silhouettes of the previous generation, the 574 is a uniquely versatile blend of something new, different, uncomplicated, robust, durable and comfortable, which has found its way into shoe cupboards all over the world. The 574 is therefore now synonymous with New Balance’s revolutionary style, which is accessible to everyone.
