Emily Ratajkowski made an effortlessly chic appearance in one of her go-to favorite sneaker styles in New York City on Friday.
Stepping out for a stroll, the model and writer slipped into a gray pair of New Balance’s 574 silhouette. The retro style the Boston-based brand debuted in 1988 is a sneaker she’s been spotted in on many occasions over the years. Available in a variety of colorways, the low top shoes retail for $85 on sites such as Newbalance.com.
The New Balance 574 was initially introduced as a comfortable shoe for runners but has since been adopted as a casual lifestyle shoe. Other celebrity fans including Jessica Alba, Olivia Wilde and Alessandra Ambrosio have been seen in similar variations in recent months.

The rest of Ratajkowski’s look included a black leather trench coat layered over a black crewneck sweater paired with somewhat baggy gray-green pleated trousers. The “Gone Girl” actress accessorized with chic cat-eye sunglasses, chunky gold Bottega Veneta earrings and a sleek black leather Hermes ‘Constance 18’ bag, which she wore across her body.
Since rising to fame, Ratajkowski has become one of the most photographed tastemakers, with her outfits consistently making headlines. Whether she’s sporting a skirt or boyfriend jeans, she regularly reaches for sneakers. In addition to New Balance’s 574, she’s also fond of trendy styles from Adidas, Vans and Reebok.
Other shoes in her constant rotation range from knee-high boots to strappy sandals to loafers and cowboy boots. Some of her favorite designer brands when it comes to footwear include Loewe, Dior and Jimmy Choo. She’s also been known to step out in more affordable styles from Steve Madden and Dolce Vita, as well as her own Inamorata brand.
