New Balance 574

The most New Balance sneaker ever says it all, right? Actually, no. The 574 is probably our most unlikely icon. The 574 was designed to be a reliable shoe that could do a lot of different things, rather than just a platform for revolutionary technology or a showcase of premium materials. This unassuming, unpretentious versatility is exactly what catapulted the 574 into the ranks of the all-time greats. A hybrid road/trail design built on a wider mold than previous narrow running silhouettes, the 574 offered a uniquely versatile blend of new, different, effortless, rugged, durable and comfortable, and was adopted as a wardrobe staple by the world over. It’s why today, the 574 is synonymous with New Balance’s boundary-pushing style, and worn by everyone.
