The New Balance 574 Core is a lifestyle sneaker built to do many things well. It started as a hybrid road/trail design on a wider last than the narrow racing silhouettes that came before it.
The upper combines suede and mesh. The vamp, collar and tongue mesh are 100% recycled polyester. The ENCAP midsole pairs soft foam with a durable polyurethane rim for all-day support, and the rubber outsole contains 5% recycled rubber.
The shoe meets New Balance's green leaf standard. The upper is made of 50% or more recycled content and/or leather that supports more responsible manufacturing through the Leather Working Group. At least one midsole or outsole material contains a minimum of 3% bio-based or 5% recycled content.
