The 574 was designed to be a reliable shoe that could do many different things at once. Conceived as a hybrid design for on-road and off-road, the 574 offered a uniquely versatile blend of new, uncomplicated, durable, and comfortable that caught on around the world. That's why the 574 is now synonymous with New Balance style and holds true daily-driver potential. Now, the classic is coming to market as a high-top variant. For the upper, New Balance relies on a combination of black Cordura and shiny leather. Colorful rope laces round out the robust look.
