The New Balance 574 is known for its retro-inspired design, combining elements of sport and casual fashion. The upper design of the NB574 incorporates the signature "N" logo on the sides, representing New Balance with a clean design in multiple shades of grey. Darker gray overlays adorn the heel and a dark gray window covers the toe box. As a final touch, the midsole and outsole are constructed in different shades of off-white, along with branding on the tongue and pull tab.
