'The most New Balance shoe ever' says it all, right? No, actually. The New Balance Trainers Mens 574 Black and Shadow Grey might be the 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.
