The New Balance 5740 is the answer to a simple yet far-reaching question. What if we updated the most New Balance shoe ever, the 574? Despite its heritage as an effortlessly versatile shoe, the original 574 was unique for its time, a road/trail hybrid that lacked overt technical features. And now the new 5740 reimagines that hybrid concept with years of design innovation and expertise, offering a fresh take on this iconic design. An overall sleeker silhouette with a slimmer build is paired with a host of exaggerated features. A distinctive midsole gives the classic 574 a flared shape with '90s tech-inspired details, while the mudguard and eyelet are highlighted with '80s wave detailing.
