"The most New Balance shoe ever created." That says it all, right? No, not really. The 574 might be the most surprising icon. The 574 was designed with the goal of being a versatile shoe for many different situations, rather than an example of revolutionary technology or a showcase for premium materials. This simple, unpretentious versatility is exactly what catapulted the 574 to the front row of all-time greats. With its hybrid road/trail design on a wider last than the narrow running silhouettes of the previous generation, the 574 offered a unique and versatile fusion that was new, different, simple, strong, durable and comfortable that became a staple of wardrobe around the world. That's why today the 574 is synonymous with New Balance style that defies limits and can be worn by anyone.
