If you look around a little, you'll see that there's a schism on styleforum between people who like NB and people who can't understand why anyone would lace such design abortions on their feet. So it's a charged subject, and the answers you're getting reflect less an honest appraisal of the shoes and more another chance for dickbags and their hangers on to say they hate NBs.
I'm down with New Balances, but those don't look great to me. IMO NBs are at their best when they're mostly monotone and in cool (temperature cool) colors, like gray and blue, with some exceptions.
The ones you posted look exceedingly normal. I'm sure they'll look fine with jeans or khakis, but not particularly special. They're almost certainly quite comfortable and well made.
