Get Winter Ready With The New Balance 574 Cordura Trainer

The New Balance 574 Cordura trainer puts a winter ready spin on the legendary late 1980s runner for a seasonal sneaker update.

The winter months aren't exactly the most forgiven when it comes to your box fresh trainers. Rain, puddles, dirt, muck, grime and other trainer wrecking substances really come out in full force throughout the autumn & winter months. Big chunky boots are great for this time of year but what about when you don't want to wear boots? This is where a winterized trainer comes into play. A modern day advancement on the traditional trainer that adds an extra layer of protection to your footwear when stepping out of your house in the crisp autumn air. Thanks to foul weather ready fabrics like GORE-TEX & Cordura, no longer do you have to ditch your kicks for foul weather alternatives. The New Balance 574 Cordura trainer puts a winter ready spin on the legendary late 1980s runner for a seasonal sneaker update.

In 1980 New Balance introduced the 620, closely followed by the 420 in 1982, the 670 in 1984, the 1300 in 1985 and then the New Balance 574 trainer in 1988. American marathon runner and New Balance athlete, Dick Beardsley, famously wore a pair of New Balance running trainers as he crossed the line for the Boston Marathon in 1982. Marketed and designed solely as a 'no fuss' running shoe, the 574 became just as popular for every-day wear. Merging together all the best bits from the 575 & the 576, the hybrid running design of the 574 trainer utilised NB's revolutionary ENCAP sole technology which still remains a key feature of New Balance silhouettes today.
