FAQs
What is the main inspiration behind the 574 YURT collaboration?
The 574 YURT collaboration, particularly the Salehe Bembury designs, draws inspiration from elements of outdoor gear and communication, hence the integrated whistle feature which symbolizes universal communication.
Is the whistle functional?
Yes, the whistle integrated into the sole is functional and can be used to produce a sound.
What type of material is the upper made of?
The upper is typically made from a combination of materials, including suede and mesh, with the specific colorway featuring grey, purplish-blue, and pink tones.
Are these shoes suitable for hiking?
While inspired by outdoor elements and featuring a durable outsole, these are primarily designed as lifestyle sneakers for casual wear and urban environments, not for technical hiking.
How does the UK sizing compare to US sizing?
UK sizing typically runs about one full size smaller than US sizing for men's footwear. A UK 11 would roughly correspond to a US 12.
What is the retail price of this shoe?
The New Balance 574 YURT Salehe Bembury Universal Communication shoe was originally released in April 2022 with a retail price of $150 USD.
Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these sneakers, especially those with suede components, as it can damage the materials and affect the shoe's structure. Hand cleaning is the preferred method.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels slightly stiff on first wear.
This is common with new footwear. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in and conform to your foot shape. Ensure laces are adjusted for comfort.
Whistle is not producing sound.
Check the whistle opening for any obstruction or debris. Gently clear the opening with a soft, dry tool. Ensure the whistle is properly seated in its compartment.
Suede areas appear matted or dirty.
Use a suede brush to gently lift and clean the nap of the suede. For stains, use a suede cleaner specifically designed for such materials, following product instructions carefully.
Color transfer from outsole or accents.
This is rare but can occur in very wet conditions. Avoid prolonged exposure to water. If color transfer occurs, clean affected surfaces immediately with appropriate cleaners for the material.
