The 574 was designed to be a reliable shoe that excels in many different areas, rather than as a platform for revolutionary technology or a showcase for high-quality materials. This humble, unpretentious versatility is exactly what has placed the 574 among the all-time greats. As a hybrid street/trail design built on a wider last than the narrow racing silhouettes of the previous generation, the 574 offered a uniquely versatile blend of new, different, uncomplicated, robust, durable, and comfortable that has been embraced worldwide in wardrobes. That’s why the 574 is now synonymous with New Balance's limitless style and is worn by everyone.
