Red toe box and tongue is what makes it good though
Not at all. Red tongue is a nice touch but toe box completely kills it. No need. Would have been clean without. We'll have to agree to disagree.

I agree that the Red Toe Box makes the shoe. If it were Mustard, they’d look like most of my many Wheat colored shoes LOL. I wished they just made the tongue Mustard though... AND changed the liner to that White/Red picnic checkered print! Now, that would’ve been PERFECT.
Nonetheless, overall, the concept and execution of the cw was pretty much on point, IMO!

What size did you end up ordering in the 990DM4? I am seeing reviews from people getting their “true” size and some even going 1/2 up.
I had the chance to try on some mesh ones in a half size up and it wasn’t bad. Felt a bit big, but not terrible. I think I was just in my own head about thinking of ordering half up for them.

Couple questions about the 574. Is the nb1 option miUSA? Is a miUS 574 somewhat of a rare release from NB? Pretty certain the recent rash of 574 releases have been miASIA...?

I’m by no means an expert, but yes, the NB1 574s are miUSA. They release GR miUSA pairs, like the Tall Tales Pack. I’m not sure how “rare” releases like that are. Some of the 574 collabs are miUSA as well

Yes, NB1 574 are US-made. Fit on them is typically larger than the Asian made 574 I’ve tried...having gone down half size from my typical NB size. For instance, I would get a 12 in Asian 574s but an 11 in US made (your experience may be different), but I wear 11.5 in all other NB. Shape and materials is also better on them than MiAsia pairs.
I don’t think they make many US made 574 because of pricepoint. The avg consumer doesn’t want to pay $150 for a US 574 when they can get one made overseas for $80.

Maybe a little too high but it doesnt shock me, especially on feet, they really look great.

Same. For the retail price, I’d much rather order an NB1. However, for the $110 shipped price and eBay bucks to spare, it was a no brainer for me.
A different subject... are the “Grand Tourers” worth > $300? I LOVE the cw, but I think that’s too much... maybe $250 is the most I’d want to spend.

IMO, no way. I sold my pair after a couple of months. The shape was awful and I remember a lot of people having dented toe boxes. I wouldn't pay more than retail for them.

they're not rare and it's a much better shoe than the asian version--shape and craftsmanship

I just bought my first pair of MiUS 574. What a difference between it and Asian made 574’s. Shape and materials are tons better. Not to mention the wider, bigger sizing works much better for my foot. Personally, I wouldn’t touch an Asian made 574 after trying the USmade. Even with the 2/1 price point. The differences are significant imo

I guess w all the recent releases of the Asian 574 I couldn’t remember a recent US made release besides the SF exclusive that just dropped

I saw the grey/red/blk v4 at NB Boylston a couple of weeks ago... 990sg4 I think. The green and blk ones are an August release though a few places have gotten and sold them early. Both GRs

Those 577 Yard Pack were really the best colorway and shape out of the pack (1500's & 577 wished I would've grabbed) .. I wish MIE would dabble in some US monopoly 998's.
Up Next..

Wish you had an 11.5 or 12. You could name your price. Been wanting these since I waited too long and they vanished.
