The original 574 lifestyle sneaker became part of footwear lore because of its versatile mix of new, different, rugged, uncomplicated, durable, and comfortable. Over thirty years later, it now features premium upper materials and, in the case of this specific baseball cleat, New Balance’s softest midsole yet – Fresh Foam X – for luxurious comfort underfoot. Let’s take a closer look at this diamond-ready take on an all-time classic:

Technology
The New Balance 574 Metal Baseball Cleat continues New Balance’s commitment to comfort primarily through the full-length Fresh Foam X midsole. Fresh Foam X is a unique midsole compound that adds soft cushioning and responsiveness, resulting in a plush, luxurious ride that helps players keep their legs fresh into late or extra innings.
This baseball cleat features a suede and mesh upper construction to combine classic cool with a breathable feel.
An 8-spike metal cleat configuration is designed for excellent traction on natural surfaces like grass and dirt.
Appearance
New Balance 574 Fresh Foam Baseball Cleats maintain the upper of the original 574s with a traditional mesh and suede construction along with the signature ‘N’ logo on the sides and premium spikes added to the outsole.
Fit And Feel
This baseball shoe combines the iconic outer shell of the 574 with a “baseball-ized” internal fit and feel. Fresh Foam X provides an ultra-cushioned, cloud-like ride and makes the cleat equally comfortable whether you’re running the bases or standing in the field.
