The U574v1 is a modern, unisex take on that same vintage running silhouette — built with a breathable suede-and-polyester-mesh upper that keeps things comfortable through long days, and a New Balance Encap midsole underneath, which pairs a soft foam core with a polyurethane rim for cushioning that New Balance says holds up over time.
A rubber outsole completes a construction that New Balance positions as a long-lasting everyday build.
The discount applies across several colorways and a wide range of sizes. - Credit: Zappos
