didn't realise its not UK made

leather does look buttery, almost looks like the leather UK stuff. besides, 577 is almost a UK exclusive production, the last full leather 577 (sans the toebox) was the Pigeon i think.

the recent black Mita collab is an example of the typical plasticky looking leather used on asian made NB. leather on it looks nothing like say, the 576KCP

Just like the Bodega x NB 577 "Hypercats" Also vietnam made. But also very hype. It is the colours used and materials used instead of which country did the production. :) To me, Asian made NBs are lowering the price of a 577 which makes it a good thing for our side as the UK 577s are way too high for even GRs..

Anywhere to get them singapore? Or strictly online from their website.

Singapore wont have. Only a few of us in Singapore owns it. Hehe. Only can get from their website (which sells out freaking fast and I mean freaking fast) or if u have friends in NYC, USA to queue for u. :D It is an exclusive and limited edition release from Kith and I know not many people in Singaporr willing to pay de price premium for it.

Saw this selling around $269 on store. Found it on a UK store selling at £90 with free shipping. Is this a good buy since made in UK.

are 574s so expensive? I'm planning on buying one for my upcoming trip. MrPorter have them at around 71pounds. Was hoping to get them around the 100~ price range

EDIT:
opps my bad, i read 495 sgd instead. If it's 400+ on hongkong money, i would say it's a good buy.

Hahah ! Ya if i bought it at SGD $495 i think i must be a big carrot head. After conversion, is around $82.. It was actually HKD $550 but got 10 percent discount now.

Yes 82 is pretty decent for the shoe. Am hoping for the price to be around the same or slightly more expensive in SG.


Anyway guys, i am new to new balance and am planning to get one pair as my current shoe is giving way. Would like to ask if there's a difference between 574 backpack and 574 rugby.
Or are they all the same? Because i realised 574 rugby looks a little big longer, as compared to the 574 backpack when i am searching it up on the net.

And are they selling the 574 backpack series in SG? I checked the net, and they stated that it was a 2012 series. So i am afraid they have already stopped producing it.

Thanks

These 574 are NB main classic runners & theres always new gr coming up.U can check from local NB concept store or other online retailers.But most 574 are china made,only custom made 574 are usa made,or collabs 574 are usa made,which is better in quality & much more durable than china made 574.
