Okay, so these New Balance 574s in olive? They're just proper solid trainers for literally anything. You know how some shoes are just... easy? These are those. The olive colour is spot on because it works with pretty much everything in your wardrobe, whether you’re keeping it chilled or adding a bit of a sporty edge to a smarter vibe. Comfort-wise, they’ve got that classic ENCAP midsole cushioning which means you get that lovely soft feel but with proper support all day long. No annoying aches after you’ve been out and about. Plus, it’s worth noting that New Balance have been clever with the materials here; the mesh on the vamp, collar, and tongue is all 100% recycled polyester, and the outsole has 5% recycled rubber. Even the midsole foam has bio-based content, which is a nice touch if you’re trying to be a bit more conscious. Honestly, these will be your go-to pair.
