We borrowed earthy shades from the rocks, vibrant blues from the sky and yellow and orange pops from the sun. The shoe’s upper pulls its texture from backpacks and climbing ropes, and the speckled sole mimics the dirt of the trail. New Balance, is dedicated to helping athletes achieve their goals. It's been their mission for more than a century. It's why they don't spend money on celebrity endorsements. They spend it on research and development. It's why they don't design products to fit an image. They design them to fit. New Balance is driven to make the finest shoes for the same reason athletes lace them up: to achieve the very best. ## Features - 75% Suede, 25% Mesh - Imported - Rubber sole - EVA (Ethyl Vinyl Acetate) foam midsole for cushioning - Rubber outsole - Textile upper ## Images ![New Balance Men's 574 V1 Varsity Sneaker - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81xoddiz5EL.jpg) ![New Balance Men's 574 V1 Varsity Sneaker - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/918yYzzus5L.jpg) ![New Balance Men's 574 V1 Varsity Sneaker - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91I5RYnx61L.jpg) ![New Balance Men's 574 V1 Varsity Sneaker - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71oJ5frnP2L.jpg) ![New Balance Men's 574 V1 Varsity Sneaker - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/816j70VUBjL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid shoes, helped rehab my ankle injury! *by V***R on Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2016* Awesome sneaker, my second pair since high school.There is no arch support and the sole near the arch is cut very narrow, so those who are flatfooted, like myself, feel their feet move inward.The sole is rock solid, which is why my doc recommended them to me to wear while I rehabbed my ankle injury. Lo and behold, my ankle is amazing now and very sturdy. I do thank these shoes for this because I have had ankle problems for years until wearing these.Like my Nike Air Force Ones, however, you will wear out the inner sole way before the outer sole. Also, the front, outer sole, wears out before the heel, so your foot winds up aiming downward as you walk after having worn the shoes for about a year. It's fine though because it is recommended that you buy new shoes/sneakers every 6 months to 1 year.The other con is that the shoes ARE very, very slippery on any surface that isn't absolutely dry, so keep that in mind.Other than that, they are solid shoes that support your feet and body well!UPDATE 7/6/2016 - Nearly a year after purchase (7/26/2015):The shoe fits just as it did when new. The fabric has stretched, overall in a good way; The vamp has widened all around, giving just slightly more room around the toes and midfoot (feels good, more breathing room since the shoe is worn), the quarter has stretched a bit, which allows more wiggling of the ankle and heel (so this I do not like). The heel treads of the sole have not worn much, but the forefoot treads of the sole have nearly flattened, so the shoe somewhat feels heel-like nowadays, but it feels super comfortable. The inner sole is still in tact, but has nearly flattened and is beginning to separate from the shoe. Overall, the wear is appropriate for the age of the shoe and it is still 90% comfortable and sturdy; remember, sneakers are meant to last between six months - one year. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Narrow and slippery, but comfortable if you order carefully. *by W***N on Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2015* These are good shoes for the price, for what I do with them. I have weird feet and ordered them based on the reviews of others. These shoes are some of the narrowest-running shoes I have ever seen in my life. Mine fit fine because I paid attention to other peoples' reviews and ordered accordingly. If you have super wide feet, I would seriously look elsewhere. The other issue is with grip - these shoes have none. The tread looks good when you look at it, but once you actually wear them... I don't know what it is, but they are CRAZY slippery, especially on wet grass. If you work on a tile floor, you might very well slip and crack your tailbone... It is that bad. I use them for general day-to-day wear including walking dogs on grass, gravel, and pavement. They are pretty comfortable once they are broken in. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ style over support *by J***R on Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2015* Stylish shoes. So-so comfort. But for a guy with flat feet and weighing over 200 lbs, I shouldn't be too critical since these ARE casual kicks. If I'm going to be on my feet for extended periods, I'll wear shoes that provide better cushion and support like Mizuno Wave Rider. Having said that, I am happy with this purchase. I really dig the dark gray version of these shoes and have gotten lots of compliments. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/531995470-new-balance-mens-574-v1-varsity-sneaker](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/531995470-new-balance-mens-574-v1-varsity-sneaker) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-06-04*
