Off-White x Air Force 1 Light Green Spark Low 'Light Green Spark'

Reviewer M Ruffini

The first time I saw the "Backpack" line of shoes from New Balance, I knew that I'd one day be adding a pair to my collections of 574's. Nylon uppers just seems like a fantastic idea, since nylon is so easy to clean and keep clean. I liked the idea of being able to get them dirty, knowing that they'll clean up better then other 574's. Because of this, I might even wear them when I normally wouldn't want to get my shoes dirty.

I haven't had them long enough to make that decision, or know exactly how well they'll clean up, but there is something else different about them that immediately caught my attention. Ever since New Balance changed the manufacturing process for the 574's, I think they've been smaller and less comfortable then versions before that time. I just purchased another pair of 574's a couple of weeks back and noticed this immediately when putting them on, as I always do with a new pair of 574's nowadays.

This pair, however, feels more like the older 574's, because they're so comfortable. My first thought was that maybe they made them like the old ones, but after comparing them to numerous other pairs I have, both old and new, I don't think that's it. The soles still match the newer version (i.e. they're more narrow), but still, I'm pretty sure they have more toe room in the uppers, because they both look and feel as if they do.

I've been a little disappointed with every pair I've purchased, since they changed the manufacturing process, because they're just not as comfortable as they used to be. For whatever reason, these, however, seem closer to what I remember a new pair feeling like and that has me really happy. They are very comfortable shoes.

Most people aren't properly aligned and when you watch them from the back, they look super fat because their knees tend to buckle in.
I weigh 135 pounds and when I saw photos of myself from the back I almost fainted. I looked 100lbs heavier just due to how my legs were aligned. My knees looked like they were about to collapse/explode (take your pick).
These puppies give you a tiny bit of arch support that helps balance your weight on the outside of your foot, rather than the inside.
They are good for shoes that you can't remove the insole like non athletic tennis sneakers or other shoe that has some sort of heel so it wont slip out.

Wasn’t sure about this brand of shoe. I ordered it for my daughter as she started her own business painting designs on shoes. Didn’t think it wouldn’t be comfortable but was wrong. It served its purpose and actually worked better than expected.

Very nice looking. Classy for price

$13 for a pair of good sneakers, plus I wear a size 13 and the price stay the same, as you know many times when the size increases so does the price

Reviewer Heidi Gil

Exactly like the image. Comfort fit, loose, but still holds onto your feet. Next purchase will be the red ones. Ended up getting grey, because grey tends to go with everything and less bright.

This is the Brooks Beast. It's awesome for people with flat feet and a pronation. It fit as I expected, but for the last couple of years, they have been running a little small. I used to wear a size 12, but I've needed a 12.5 from this shoe since 2013 or so. I still wear a 12 in other brands. I've been told, but running shoe specialists, that this is the only shoe in its class. He said that the only other shoe that came close was recently removed from the market...
