Wmns Air Jordan 5 Retro 'Earth' DD9336-200

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.

The shoes are in very hot while wearing. Can only wear few hours at a time or feet sweat

Nice looking shoes but a size six fit like a 5.5

Reviewer C Burja

Love how easy and comfortable these shoes are. Thought the toe box was not high enough for my toes but I put some marble eggs in them for a week (they are smooth and heavy) to stretch the toe area up some and this worked great. Don't know why the shoe maker thinks our toes taper down--nope! Still love them though!

These take a little bit of time to break in, they start off pretty tight compared to other pairs of Romas I've owned. That said, for the price, these are pretty sweet.
