I remember 4 years or so ago, the local New Balance store in Pittsburgh started selling a Classic version of the M574. This grey suede version was the only silhouette but sold out like hot cakes. I'd never wore New Balances prior to buy this style because I perceived them to be running shoes and I was not a runner. Boy was I wrong! Needless to say, New Balances are extra comfy, especially for lazy bums like me.
The thing I appreciated the most about the M574 is its simplicity. Normally, I would say no way to any shoe that have 5 different shades of grey on it but the M574 solidified its hall of shoe fame status by how versatile it is while being so simple. Suede and mesh uppers paired with extra padding around the ankles result in a light shoe but the iconic "N" on either side sings New England prep. The simple looking soles actually include New Balance's sophisticated injected molded EVA midsoles which might seem common among trainers or running shoes. The only difference in this case is that its a New Balance shoe and these guys know how to make cushioning for runners. Love this shoe!
