New Balance 574 shoes

New Balance is an iconic American sports brand founded in Boston in 1906. Originally focused on arch supports, it has evolved into a global leader in athletic footwear and apparel. One of its most famous models, the 574, was designed as a versatile, durable road and trail shoe and has become a staple of lifestyle fashion.

While New Balance maintains a significant boutique manufacturing presence in the United States and the United Kingdom through its 'Made in USA' and 'Made in UK' lines, the majority of its global consumer products are manufactured in Vietnam, Indonesia, and China to meet worldwide demand. The company remains privately held by the Davis family, ensuring it stays independent from major publicly traded sports conglomerates.
