Classic full-grain leather spikeless golf shoe
Boston, Mass., September 9, 2015 – For fall 2015, New Balance Golf will add a new style to the popular 574 collection. The classic 574LX will debut in October at golf shops around the country. Built on the same New Balance last used in the popular 574 lifestyle and golf shoes, the 574LX is designed for golfers looking for a classic yet contemporary full-grain leather style with a spikeless outsole.
The 574LX features a waterproof full-grain leather upper with a pigskin collar lining and footbed cover. The outsole utilizes an NDurance® rubber outsole for maximum durability in high-wear areas, and a REVLite® 10mm drop* midsole for lightweight cushioning and premium responsiveness. The 574LX weighs just 12.5 ounces and is backed by a two-year waterproof warranty**. 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,” said Bruce Schilling, General Manager of Golf and Tennis, New Balance. “The style has tremendous appeal to the younger golfer who already wears our popular classic suede 574, and as we continue to add new styles like the 574B and now the 574LX, we are providing additional options to appeal to even more players.”
