New Balance 574 the effortless classic.

The Classic

New Balance 574, the classic that was designed in 1985 and released 1988. 574 is arguably the most well known and highest selling New Balance model of all time.

The iconic model has been seen on many stylish celebs over the years. The sleek silhouette and variety of colorways makes the model easy to style with fits both high and low. Often considered the most New Balance shoe ever, the 574 might actually be their most unlikeliest icon. The 574 was built to be a reliable shoe that could do a lot of different things well rather than as a platform for revolutionary technology, or as a premium materials showcase. This unassuming, unpretentious versatility is exactly what launched the 574 into the ranks of all-time greats. As hybrid road/trail design built on a wider last than the previous generation’s narrow racing silhouettes, the 574 offered a uniquely versatile mix of new, different, uncomplicated, rugged, durable, and comfortable that was adopted as a closet staple across the globe. That’s why today, the 574 is synonymous with the boundary defying New Balance style, and worn by anyone.
