New Balance launched the 500 series to capitalize on the growing popularity of running, particularly trail running, in the ‘70s and ‘80s. The 574 borrowed elements from earlier models like the 575 and 576, but its big innovation was its Encap midsole, a combination of soft foam and a durable polyurethane rim in the heel that delivers plenty of support and comfort on the road or the trail.
Today’s 574 Core sneakers are just as comfortable and stylish, with the same suede-textile upper, simple rubber outsole, and instantly recognizable yet unassuming silhouette that made these shoes popular the world over.
