WL574V2

New Balance's most iconic sneaker. That says it all, right? Well not really. The 574 may be our most unexpected icon. The 574 was conceived to be a reliable shoe for many different uses. It was not designed to be a benchmark for revolutionary technology or a prototype for premium materials. It is precisely this simple and unassuming versatility that catapulted the 574 into the rankings of the best sneakers of all time. With a hybrid design for road and trail, and with a wider last than the narrow racing silhouettes of previous generations, the 574 offered a unique combination of versatility, novelty, simplicity, strength, durability and comfort that was adopted as essential at the level world. That's why, today, the New Balance 574 is synonymous with pushing the limits and is a model that can be worn by anyone.
