New Balance launched the 574 as a more accessible version of the already-popular 576. Over the decades, it's become one of the brand's most recognizable silhouettes and shines here in a classic concrete grey colorway. The upper combines synthetic suede and textile, with a white "N" logo to match the white EVA foam cushioning in the midsole. ENCAP cushioning in the heel is rendered in an off-white, and topped by a polyurethane rim to help lock the foot in place; a lugged grey outsole completes the look and provides traction.
