Nothing to get excited about at the moment: just the 574 and some very bland colors.

Still, I'm very happy to see NB offer this sort of product and will happily toy around with better models if/when they're made available.

Asics, still waiting for you to get on board the ID train...

You guys beat me to it...$115 for a pair for shoes is too much.

The only gripe I have about it is that the heel panel part is always grey or black (and only black midsole), limited selection of colors and materials are set.

Mesh looks meaty. Delivery sounds lightning fast compared to Nike... But limited colours means not much fun.

Like being able to order a huge meal that comes out the kitchen quick, but it's just a massive bucket of pasta with very little sauce.

Potential to improve though, which is what I'll keep an eye on.

I'm quite interested in this; the US 574 looks very decent in pictures, but I agree about the options... all I could come up with so far looks very familiar to the CT 576 georgetown cw. Shades of brown for me please and a gum sole......

agreed on the brown and gum, thsoe would be killer. I'd also love to see purple, yellow, and orange. Heck, I'd like a proper pink, that blush looks nasty.

I tried to build a pair last week, but it wouldn't let me get a US 10.5 in a D width, the only size was a 2E for some reason. It has since been fixed, but I've moved on. For that money I'll simply buy another pair of the J Crew 1400s. I have a ton of 574s but they really only look good after they are beaten and broken in.

^^Maybe 1/2 size down. I wear a UK 12.5 in NB's and the 574 is always a slightly tight fit when new compared to 576, 577, etc.

They do have that load of nice give in them though, so after a while they fit perfect, whilst a 12.5 576 goes a little sloppy on my foot over time.

Barry, I think you'd want a UK10. I'd probably get a UK9.5 but I know your foot is a that bit bigger than mine.

Love the idea of custom nbs - hopeully they will add more colors/ options /models soon but I made me a pair already. Love the fact the shape is us and not asian like in the actual customizer. Saw some pics of finished products and they look really good, much like the clips. Def making a few at least.

Not yet mate, I've just gone off the advice of the people I know in the USA that have them.

Wow...seeing more finished products and these 574s are amazing. They come looking very different than the customized. Us made..not Asian and even though there is limited colors...the actual colors are very nice. Hopefully they fix the customized to reflect the actual colors and shape but I am going nuts with these. Hopefully they add more options and moremodels! Ill post my first one when they arrive on Tuesday so you guys can judge for yourself. I ended up doing a poor mans red devil.
