The modern classic is lightweight and spikeless
Boston, Mass., September 2, 2014 – Coming off the successful spring introduction of the classic 574 golf shoe, global athletic leader New Balance announces the addition of the men’s 574B spikeless golf shoe. The new 574B is built on the same New Balance last used in its popular 574 lifestyle running shoe and cleated golf shoe. The 574B is designed for golfers looking for a modern classic style with a spikeless outsole.
The 574B features a mesh upper with no-sew Fantom Fit technology for ultralight support and fit, an Ndurance® rubber outsole for maximum durability in high-wear areas, and a REVLite® 10mm drop* midsole for lightweight cushioning and premium responsiveness. Golfers will enjoy the same style, comfort, and fit they are accustomed to from New Balance footwear, plus performance technologies designed to help enhance their golf game.
“The 574 golf shoe has been one of our top selling shoes in the current line,” said Bruce Schilling, General Manager of Golf and Tennis, New Balance. “This model has tremendous appeal to the younger golfer who is already wearing our classic suede 574, and the mesh upper and spikeless outsole of the 574B will increase the appeal of the shoe to even more players. We have also expanded our widths to 2E and 4E in select styles based on initial feedback we received on the 574.”
