AMERICAN CLASSIC : 574

The New Balance 574 is the perfect sneaker. It's inexpensive, comfortable and cute as fuck. I've worn the Vans, the Nike's and Adidas', but this stubby wonder is my favorite. It puts a spring in a Bear's step. It's a nerdy shoe, yes, but in the right color and material it can be quite chic. These are black suede with the classic mesh. I couldn't wear it, but the all white leather version is beautiful.
