The most New Balance shoe ever says it all, right? Not really. The 574 might be our most unlikely 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 a showcase for premium materials. This unassuming 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 can be worn by anyone.
