The best New Balance shoe of all time says it all, doesn't it? The 574 might be the most unlikely legend. The 574 was designed to be a reliable shoe that can do many different things at once, not a platform for revolutionary technology or a showcase for premium materials. This unassuming, understated versatility is exactly what has catapulted the 574 into the ranks of the best. Conceived as a hybrid design for road and off-road, built on a wider last than the narrow running silhouettes of the previous generation, the 574 offered a uniquely versatile blend of new, different, uncomplicated, rugged, durable and comfortable that caught on worldwide. That's why today the 574 is synonymous with New Balance's exceptional style and is worn by everyone.
