Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG Patina 555088-033

Reviewer trevstonlongworth

I normally only wear 574's from New Balance, but I purchased these because they share the same shoe last and they're similar. I can't say that I like them as well, but they're alright.

I believe the mid-soles are different, and while I think I like the 574 mid-sole better, the 565 doesn't seem bad. One thing I definitely don't like as well is the lack of mesh in the all-suede upper. They probably don't breath as well, but that's not a huge factor for me in a suede shoe. I just like the looks of the mesh/suede combo better then the all-suede shoe.

I saved my final criticism for last, because it applies to both the 565 and 574 models of "Lifestyle and Retro" shoes. These are the ones with model numbers that start with "ml". I don't like them because they appear to be the hipster version of New Balance shoes, with laces that usually match the suede. Like any good hipster shoe, they seem to be more narrow, which is antithetical to the very thing that made the 574, and probably 565, popular shoes in the first place (i.e. spacious.) Even though these are supposedly made on the same shoe last as other models in the line, they definitely don't have the advertised toe depth of the SL-2 shoe last. I've also noticed that many New Balance shoes made on the SL-2 last don't seem to be as wide as they used to be, so that issue probably isn't for the lifestyle and retro shoes alone.

Seems strange that New Balance would ruin a popular line of shoes by changing the very things that made them popular, but that's what they seem to be doing. For customers that want a more narrow 574, it seems like New Balance would just suggest the 363 or one of their models made on narrow shoe lasts. Regardless, I wish they'd leave the SL-2 shoes alone, so that customer who appreciate them can continue to do so. I've worn them for 20 years and the only thing that will stop that is if New Balance changes the shoes so much that they're not the same.

Bought these for my husband for Christmas. He is a standard 10.5 and they were a perfect fit and he is mesmerised by the comfort. No breaking in, no rubbing at the back.

My husband wore these men's fashion oxford sneakers tonight for the first time. He says they're comfortable and he loves the tan leather. He didn't have any trouble lacing them up either which can be trouble for him sometimes. The soles are rubber with pure leather and fabric for the upper part of the shoes. They're comfortable to wear with the breathable mesh lining and Ortholite insoles that wick moisture and odor away. Helps to prevent fungus. My husband said the inside are very comfortable to wear as it has more cushion than he expected. The bottoms of the rubber soles have anti-slip traction for better movement even on rough ground.

Reviewer joenmattsmom

The only complaint is there WAS a very small black mark on the foremost back left side about the size and shape of two pin heads.It is not worth the bother to return them. The shoes fit very well and I am overall happy with the purchase...minus that mark
