The 574 was designed to be a reliable shoe that could do many different things at once. Conceived as a hybrid design for on- and off-road, the 574 offered a uniquely versatile blend of new, uncomplicated, durable and comfortable that became recognised worldwide. That's why the 574 is now synonymous with New Balance style and has real potential for everyday wear. Now the classic gets a design update that emphasises the Encap unit in the midsole.
