The New Balance 574 in cow print black and linen is a straightforward take on the classic 574 silhouette. This women’s model pairs a black leather and textile upper with a cow print pattern that breaks up the monochromatic look without being loud about it. The linen accents on the midsole keep things neutral and grounded, letting the print do its thing without competing elements.
The 574 remains one of New Balance’s most durable everyday shoes. The cushioned midsole handles daily wear well, and the wide toe box is something people either love immediately or start to miss if they switch to narrower shoes. The cow print gives the shoe some visual personality while staying within the realm of practical styling.
At $123, this lands right in the expected price range for a women’s New Balance 574. It’s a solid option if you want something that works with basics but has a little more character than the standard colorways. The leather and textile blend should age reasonably with regular wear, though that depends entirely on how you treat your shoes. Not revolutionary, just a reliable model with a pattern that works better than you might expect.
