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.

Love the shoes, but first pair very narrow and had to be returned. My husband's feet are average to slightly narrow width. Had to get a full size larger.
Reviewer T Brettschneider
This shoes are very comfortable and resistance, i bought a second pair. The only complain is that 1 year after the sole began to felt apart.

These were a lot nicer than I thought they would be, at a fantastic price too. I bought them as a gift, so I will have to reserve final judgement when the recipient sees/wears them. Not an easy size to find in stores, so this is a great opportunity to get the shoe I wanted at the right price. Arrived fast, and in great condition

Walked 14 miles on the first time I wore them and my feet loved them

I got a half size larger based on past experience with other athletic shoes and they fit fine. Toe box is not cramped at all. Memory foam makes shoe very comfortable to wear.

I ordered these for me, but they were claimed by my teenage daughter. I wear a women's size 10W shoe. My daughter wears a women's 9. These fit me, but they were not as roomy as I expected since they are men's 9. They are a little big on my daughter, as expected, but not that much either. So they are running a little smaller than anticipated. I have another pair of Cloudfoam shoes and these are not as soft and comfortable as the other pair. For that reason, I wasn't too disappointed that my daughter took them. They do have a foam inset, but it's not as squishy as my other. It also doesn't have the arch support that the other pair has. They are really nice looking and well made. Other than the sizing, they are what I would expect from the adidas brand.

Teenagers can be really picky. Passed the teenager expectations which means we like them too. Great price for teenager shoes now days. Great for all ages.
