New Balance U574WR2

The idea of the New Balance 574 being part of a lifestyle is not newfangled. Quintessential to the brand’s legacy and revered the world over, it has always been a sneaker with presence and one that is well-known to be ‘Worn by Anyone’. The 574 is deep in the game, with its roots going back to the late 80s and early 90s, accumulating a wide array of fans from NYC’s hardcore scene, to the street style savants across Tokyo. It’s also become a collaborative centerpiece for needle-moving boutiques, influential designers and paradigm-shifting artists, with a long list of memorable makeups that range from 100th anniversary celebrations to regional exclusives, and even the whistle-equipped ‘Yurt’.
