The New Balance 574 in Reflection Angora is a women’s version of the classic 574 silhouette, built around a soft, neutral palette that leans warm. This colorway uses angora as the primary tone, a muted beige that sits somewhere between cream and taupe depending on the light.
The 574 remains one of New Balance’s most straightforward everyday sneakers. The upper combines mesh and suede in a traditional athletic shoe construction, which means it’ll breathe reasonably well but still hold its shape. The chunky midsole is standard 574 territory, thick enough to give you some cushioning underfoot without the technical performance demands of a running shoe. If you’ve worn one before, you know what to expect. If you haven’t, it’s a low-stakes introduction to the model.
The Reflection Angora colorway doesn’t try to make a statement. That’s kind of the point. It’s a neutral that works with most casual wardrobes and doesn’t age out of style quickly. The minimal branding keeps things clean without looking stripped down.
At $150 retail, it’s priced in line with standard 574 releases. This isn’t a collaboration or a premium material iteration, just the regular version in a solid neutral color. It’s the kind of shoe that works best if you actually plan to wear it regularly rather than as a collector’s piece.
