The most iconic New Balance shoe ever says it all, right? Well, not really. The 574 might be our most unlikely icon. Built to be a reliable shoe capable of doing many different things rather than as a platform for revolutionary technology or a showcase of premium materials. This unassuming and versatile versatility is exactly what propelled the 574 among the all-time greats. With a hybrid street/trail design built on a wider last than the narrow running silhouettes of the previous generation, the 574 offered a unique and versatile mix of new, different, simple, rugged, durable, and comfortable things that were embraced as a wardrobe staple worldwide. That's why today the 574 is synonymous with pushing the boundaries of New Balance style and worn by everyone. With the kids' 574, the same style inspiration is brought down to growing feet.
