Dadcore is Not Dead: Why the New Balance 574 Should Be in Your Rotation

What's not to love about the New Balance 574? Existing as one of the most revered silhouettes within the Boston brand's arsenal, the New Balance 574 has been gracing the feet of dads (and now everyone else) since the early 1980s. Born from a blend of the 577 and 576, the shoe was one of New Balance's initial forays into the lifestyle footwear world, and since it has been a mainstay in many of our collections.

So why exactly should the New Balance 574 deserve a place within your rotation? Well, for starters, let's talk about its iconic look. Constructed to a low-cut build, the 574 effortlessly blends mesh and suede layers together to create a timeless aesthetic. The brand's classic "N" logo decorates both the lateral and medial walls also, offering instant recognition among those in the know. Underfoot, an ENCAP midsole provides a core of soft cushioning, meaning your feet are guaranteed to feel supported and comfortable throughout wear.

Let's not forget about the sheer number of New Balance 574 colourways on offer, either. Given the fact the shoe has been around so long, there are hundreds of 574 iterations out there for purchase, a fair few of which you can find on ASOS' website. So don't delay! Why not pick up a pair of 574s just in time for the summer and join a well-deserved hype train? Check out ASOS' full range of New Balance 574 right here.
