5740 Suede/Mesh Trainers

The New Balance 5740 is the answer to a question that is simple, yet astronomical in scale. What if we updated the most New Balance shoe of all time – the 574? Despite its legacy of unassuming, almost effortless versatility, the original 574 was a unique design for its era, a hybrid road/trail design that didn’t lean on visible technical features. The 5740 approaches the hybrid concept with a few extra years’ worth of design developments to explore, and creates a new perspective on an iconic design. An overall sleeker silhouette provided by a slimmer last combines with a range of exaggerated features. The unique midsole combines a flared take on the classic 574 construction with ‘90s tech inspired details, while the mudguard and eyerow feature the distinctive wavy embellishments of the ‘80s.

A classic on the sportswear scene, New Balance recently re-emerged as a fashion must-have, in particular its 9060, 530, 574 and Aimé Leon Dore collab versions, with the 740s predicted to be this year's sellout style.
