New Balance GC574QBL

The New Balance shoe of all time says it all, right? Actually, no. The 574 might be our most unlikely icon. The 574 was built to be a reliable shoe that excels at many different things, rather than as a platform for revolutionary technology or a showcase for high-quality materials. This humble, unpretentious versatility is exactly what catapulted the 574 into the ranks of the all-time greats. As a hybrid street/trail design based on a wider last than the narrow racing silhouettes of previous generations, the 574 offered a uniquely versatile blend of new, different, uncomplicated, sturdy, durable, and comfortable that has been embraced worldwide as a staple. For this reason, the 574 is now synonymous with limitless New Balance style and is worn by everyone. The 574 for kids features the same style inspiration scaled down for growing feet.
