Street Style: New Balance 574
Posted by Liz J. on Jul 11th 2017
Here at TheShoeMart, we take our athletic shoes seriously. From the comfort of Clarks Wallabees to the waterproof Timberland yellow boot, we love to help you find the perfect shoes to suit your purpose. So you may be surprised to see that today we're featuring a running shoe that people don't often run in.
The New Balance 574.
It may seem counter-intuitive for a running shoe to be seen as street-wear, but the classic silhouette of the New Balance 574 is photographed regularly by street style bloggers that love to share its retro style.
The New Balance 574 is instantly recognizable as iconic American footwear. Further extending that image, New Balance has committed to making and assembling their shoes in The USA whenever possible and the 574 is part of their Made in USA collection, alongside the 990 and 993.
The shoe is also loved for its comfort and durability-- with uppers made of a combination of breathable mesh and long-lasting suede and its anti-fatigue technologies, the 574 is one of New Balance's most sought-after styles. It is also a shoe that has received many make-overs, but we like to keep it classic.
Wondering what's behind that comfort? The ENCAP midsole enhances stability and ABZORB technology reduces shock to your foot for all day comfort. The non-marking rubber sole provides great traction even on wet surfaces. Regarding fit, the 574 is designed with a narrow heel and a wide instep, and it's anti-fatigue insole is removable to accommodate custom orthotics.
The New Balance 574 has become an athletic shoe for a new type of running: the every-day hustle.
