Quad density midsoles balance cushioning, stability, responsiveness, and durability.

The most New Balance shoe ever says it all, right? No, actually. The 574 might be New Balances' 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 generations 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. Thats why today, the 574 is synonymous with the boundary defying New Balance style, and worn by anyone.
