The 574 was built to be a reliable shoe that does many different things well, rather than a platform for revolutionary technology or a showcase for premium materials. This understated, unpretentious versatility is exactly what catapulted the 574 into the ranks of the greatest of all time. 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 the uncomplicated, rugged, durable and comfortable comfort that has been adopted as a wardrobe staple around the world. That's why today, the 574 is synonymous with boundary-pushing new-balance style and is worn by everyone.
