Very nice in person! 

I might cop a 2nd pair to stock.

Are there any more drops coming up for the City of Gold 574s? I'm hunting a 13 since my 12s ran a bit small on them.

Your only options is a few more USA drops since it was delayed stateside.  Like I said last night, UNOTRE had a few sizes remaining though.  Other than that, resale price on these aren't too crazy, you may be able to find a pair on ebay.

Quick question: does the 1500 model fit true to size? Size down or up? Thanks.

 

[jackiesboyg]

The city of golds should have been delayed indefinitely. That shoe is trash. New balance should not have allowed that shoe to be produced. I would buy customs b4 I drop money on these. Shelflifes=trash

that's your opinion, why you feel so strong about it, let us know?

Check my sig, there's a sizing chart, and size up or down from what? a NB model, a nike shoe, adidas shoe, more specifics the better we can help.

 

[myfeetwalk]

I'm 10.5 in air maxes but 9.5-10 in 998 or 999's

 

[jackiesboyg]

City of golds just look cheap. They look like a new balance that would be at footlocker. I would just customize a 574 instead of paying for these. Shelflife could have done much better than this

Not a fan of the theme/colorway/concept at all, but I'm sure the quality is above average good. To those that own the shoe, can you confirm this?

 

[prez t]

the intense hate is peculiar . collabs are hit or miss ; and these werent even that hyped of a NB collab when looking over the past couple of years . woo-sah my brother

I had them in hand at my boys shop there was nothing impressive about them in hand and the concept of the interchangeable logos seems like they got the idea from a child's new balamce lol

 

[jerusareem]

Yea they failed on those shelf life's, why would you waste an opportunity to do a collaboration by picking an Asian made 574 smh....trashy trash trash

they stole the idea from footpatrol's 576 collabs and 580 gore-tex flight jacket. they had the interchangeable velcro logos years before shelflife. personally im not a big supporter of shelflife since they're a reseller store w/ rape prices from south africa. maybe they've changed their prices recently but i remember back in 2012 they were selling 580WST & 1500CHF for triple retail price.

This-

If you're going through the effort of a collab with New Balance, why not go the extra step and make sure they're USA 574's?
It's common knowledge that all other 574's have that bulbous toebox.

Not necessarily hating on the shelflife's, but you're better off customizing a pair with a tip top shape....and if they come out poorly, return them and re-do them.

Asian made 574's have a bad rep for a reason.

You guys have to realize that stores get access to certain models depending on the market they're in. For example, an American store will be able to collab on US made NB while an Australian store won't be able to work on a shoe made in the US. That's why Sneaker Freaker had to use an Asian 998 (which, btw are hideous) and why Staple couldn't have done the pigeon concept on a UK made 577 without Size?

Shelflife most likely doesn't have access to the US made 574, and I personally find 574 collabs pointless because the ID options are pretty extensive.

Wore the 999 elites to work today..

These boys have been through some things..

agreed also like the tannery, for the same amount of money i think i can custom a 574 and like the cw a lot more even thought tannery is nice

edit: is there an ID page or any sites that show peoples custom NB from NB.com
