These textile sneakers are cute, in my opinion, way cuter than the non-textile versions of the New Balance Classics.  The color in reality is a little darker than that shown on Amazon, but that's okay because I like it darker.  If you want to get a better look of the color, I suggest you google the shoes online or go to 6pm.com to check out their pictures, but Amazon seems to have the best price.  The biggest issue I have is that the foot-bed is not very flexible or cushy although the shoes as a whole are very light weight.  I have tried on different models of New Balances sneakers, and they all seem to share the same problem, (Hey New Balance, are you listening?) but once again, I bought these shoes because they are cute.
