History of New Balance 574 Core Plus

One brand that has catapulted to popularity back in the 1980s as a dependable name in the running circuit is New Balance. Runners around the globe have developed fondness over NB’s performance-ready running shoes, specifically its advanced trainer the 574 that was built with an eye-catching design.

The New Balance 574 men’s shoe, which was unveiled in 1988, is built with premium materials and high standards of craftsmanship, factors that have lured strings of supporters to this shoe. The upper is layered with either suede or leather combined with a breathable nylon mesh.

The real standout feature of this shoe is the New Balance engineering integrated into the midsole, called the ENCAP. This technology helps protect the foot from impact as it can absorb shock and diffuse it to a broader area.

After 15 years from the inception of the New Balance 574, in 2003, this shoe finally migrated into the sneaker world. A reimagined version of this much-favored vintage runner was reintroduced carrying the same old DNA but in a much-updated form. The upper of this retro-style shoe was redressed in various color patterns much to the delight of sneaker enthusiasts and New Balance aficionados.
