So I finally bit the bullet and ordered a pair of New Balance MS574BK. My main motivation was to actually take it for a test drive and see what the fuss is about New Balance, besides the colorway + price proved too hard to resist. Are you kidding me, Just look at it, all burgundy, white sole. I love it. So far so good, went pounding the city pavements of Zurich with it and I must say they are extremely comfy for walkabouts. A bit tight, I don’t know if this is a New Balance thing in terms of sizing up but I went with my normal size of UK 10 and they feel a tad tight. I guess they will expand after constant wear. Or next time opt for a UK 10.5.

Excuse the poor lighting from my rubbish HTC phone, but this is how they actually look like as I copped it from Albam

All in all, I’m happy and I look forward to my next pair -
