"New Balance's most iconic shoe." That says it all, right? Well, not quite. Who knows? Maybe the 574 is our most unexpected icon. The 574 was conceived as a reliable shoe for a multitude of different uses. It wasn't designed to be a benchmark of revolutionary technology or a prototype of premium materials. It's precisely this simple, unpretentious versatility that catapulted the 574 into the rankings of the best running shoes of all time. With a hybrid design for road and trail, and a wider fit than the narrow running silhouettes of previous generations, the 574 offered a unique combination of versatility, innovation, simplicity, resilience, durability, and comfort that was adopted as a must-have worldwide. That's why today, the New Balance 574 is synonymous with pushing boundaries and is a shoe that anyone can wear.
