Brand:New Balance
The 574 might be our unlikeliest icon. The shoe was built to be reliable and 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 a hybrid road/trail design built on a wider last, the 574 offered a uniquely versatile mix of comfort and durability that was adopted as a closet staple across the globe. The shoe features lightweight EVA foam cushioning in the midsole and heel, a leather upper, and a durable rubber outsole. It also has a lace-up closure for a secure fit. The 574 for kids is a pared-down version of the style, designed for growing feet.
