Review on πŸ‘Ÿ Iconic Sneaker for Men by New Balance by Matt Travers

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Complete garbage! Say goodbye to the classic New Balance 574 (SEE PHOTOS!)

The New Balance 574 was a great evening shoe, but nothing more! I've attached a photo to the left of my classic New Balance 574 bordeaux right (10 years old!) which I put back in the box and sent back immediately. Note the thick suede on the shoe on the right, and the new shoe is made of thin faux suede, is matte in color and looks like it was nicked from a bowling alley. Look at the picture on the left and you can visually see that it is sooooo small! When my old 574s were new they looked so pretty I could wear them to a casual date. The new 574s look like cheap knockoffs with inferior fit, color and style. 10 years ago I bought 574 originals for $90 and it was a great deal. I got the new 574s from Revain and for half that price and they were so uncomfortable that if someone gave me them for free I wouldn't wear them. Complete garbage! Come back!

Pros
  • NB Heritage: Slip into these retro sneakers and feel the New Balance craftsmanship that has made them a street style favourite. Bold color blocking and a large N logo have been retained in this modern take on a classic shoe.
Cons
  • Overall ok, but...
