New Balance 574 Cow Print in Canada — New Arrivals at Gallery Streetwear

The New Balance 574 Cow Print has landed at Gallery Streetwear, an authorized Canadian New Balance retailer at 588 Bernard Avenue in Kelowna, BC, shipping Canada-wide. It is in stock now in women's B width, US 5 through 10 including half sizes — shop it here.

New Balance lists the style as W574PH and calls the colour Black with Linen, which is a very New Balance way of describing it. What it actually is: black and cream calf-hair panels in a Holstein cow print, set against an off-white 574 with a black N logo and black midsole stripe. It is the loudest 574 the brand has put out in a while, and the print is the entire point.

The 574, briefly

The 574 was designed in 1988 by New Balance's Steven Smith, built by combining elements of the 575 and 576. It introduced ENCAP cushioning — a soft EVA core wrapped in a firmer polyurethane ring, sitting under the heel where you cannot see it — and that construction is still in New Balance shoes nearly forty years later.

It has been in continuous production ever since, which is not something you can say about many sneakers. Normally the 574 is the quiet one — the New Balance you reach for without thinking. This version is not that. Same shoe, same shape, same nearly-forty-year-old silhouette, wearing something considerably louder.

Why the cow print works on this shoe

Animal print on a sneaker usually goes one of two ways: it either swallows the shoe or it looks stuck on. The 574 handles it because the silhouette is so familiar and so plain that your eye reads the shape first and the print second. The panels are calf hair rather than printed synthetic, so the texture changes as the light moves — which is what stops it reading as a novelty.

Black and cream also means it behaves like a neutral from three feet away. It goes with more than you would expect for a shoe that is, up close, covered in cows.

Fit — the 574 runs true

Take your normal size. The 574 runs true to size and has done for decades.

It is a narrower shoe through the midfoot than most of what New Balance makes now. If you have a wider foot, or you have found the recent chunky silhouettes more comfortable, the 9060 that landed alongside this is the more forgiving of the two — and it runs about half a size large.

If you are ordering online and you are between sizes, email info@gallerystreetwear.ca before you buy. We would rather spend two minutes on it than process an exchange.
