Acidic Green is a yellow-leaning, high-chroma green, and on suede it lands somewhere between highlighter and moss depending on the light. It covers the overlays of this women's 574+, set against a white base and a white sidewall N, with the same green returning on the tongue label and the heel. Suede rather than mesh matters for a colour this loud: nap absorbs light and pulls the brightness back a step, so the shoe reads rich instead of fluorescent.
The plus in the name refers to the sole. New Balance lifts the shoe onto a taller stacked midsole, keeping the outline and panel layout of the original but adding height under the whole foot, so the profile squares off and the ENCAP heel sits further from the ground. It arrived on November 22, 2022 at $90, in line with what the brand was charging for flat-soled women's pairs that season. The extra height suits this silhouette more than it would a slim racer: the 574 came out of off-road running, where a thick, protective sole was the entire point.
