Could be the possibility that since the customs are made in the US there's a bit more care going into them.

Yacht club 574's are poorly made Asian 574's. Materials are cheaper and shape is more "banana-like"
Custom 574's are Made in USA and are much better quality overall. Shape is also much better than Asian made 574's.

HA! Can't believe it, ronnie fieg actually admitted that the dune 997s beat out his collabs last year. Never thought that dude would finally admit that his designs weren't that strong. The dunes were the shoes that pushed one of his collabs out of my top 5 from last year though 
I had heard rumors earlier this year that RF was gonna do an 998 and now it's looking more and more true.

These are dope af. Did you paint the synthetic toe part or the back pieces? I'm assuming you created them from the site and added some custom touches. Either way

when people make their custom 574 devils, they just have to paint the mesh black, since the other portions of the shoe can be customized when you ID them. the problem is when you pick the color for the mesh at the toe box, the color runs up on the tongue and the ankle wrap. so that is the part you need to paint/dye. if you look closely you can see the red peeking out from under the tongue label where he didnt completely paint over.

Those are nice! In the photo the mesh looks almost like white cap with kool grey surroundings and a black N over a houndawg logo base - (just using custom colors). I may have to try and custom theses. Could you do a close up of the tongue label? Is it a windmill? I looked these up and the closest I could find was a grey and navy pair here:

Why would you...
When you could have
The same year at a cheaper price without
that fat toe and rev sole... plus it's
Seems like a no brainer to me. But some people are just about those collabs...

Those new 996s look terrible. I was going to buy the Navy ones, but choose not. I'd rather buy some 1500s or 998s. Easy pass after that shape.
