My gf just showed me this article titled "What mens shoes say about them" 

These idiots trashin NB hard. 

[h2]The Man Who Wears New Balance[/h2]
There is a special place in this world for a man who wears New Balance and it’s in the public library or laboratory. This guy was definitely a loser in high school and is probably still wearing the same shoes. He failed miserably in gym class, spent most of his time studying for the Chemistry SAT II, and went to a small liberal arts school.

He wears quarter zips with elastic cuffs and thinks Kanye West  is violent. He also likes to bring his lunch in an insulated bag and then save the Tupperware for later. He’s so nerdy it breaks our hearts, but we also love him for it.

Shockingly, he always has a really nice, genuinely sweet girlfriend (while we’re all still single) and treats her like a queen. The guys who wears New Balance is a little boring like his sneaker choice.

He could’ve had a shot with us if only he just changed his sneakers. New Balances are a dead giveaway that a horny teenager is having more sex than you.

Damn...throwin rocks. They're just jealous about all the awesome collabs NB has. I'd rather be nerdy wearing quality than cool wearing Nike/Jordan crap.

"If you’re sporting a fresh tanned pair of Timbs, chances are you’re pretty ghetto – but in a cool, gangster rap kind of way."

Stopped reading after the first sentence

 

[panaricanretro]

To the non-sneaker-enthusiast, new balance doesn't really scream "dope classic shoes with sick collabs and colorways". They're thinking of your typical grandpa walking around Walmart wearing grey 991s on some Steve Jobs steez with the shirt tucked into the mom jeans. Or the tech support guy at the office who wears them with a short sleeve shirt tucked into his oversize khakis a la Brad Hall. It's like using some old guy wearing Nike Iar Monarchs as the example of all guys who wear Nike.

Lol honestly it's a tough read

holy **** I can't even... The fact that someone still uses the phrase "gangsta rap" in modern day terminology just shows the disconnect.

What your shoes say about you...

I like these shoes, pretty much it.

 

[sriracha hot sauce]

Anyone have recommendations on a good insole replacements for 997,998, and 1300?

 

[jam3s121]

Finally got my first pair of New Balances.. I was gonna jump and buy the 997 Rockabilly's but I saw these and said I'd wait on the 997 for a bit. Of course I went with the classic grey. I've thought about buying 574's in gray colorways for awhile but never actually did it, glad I did. I usually wear Saucony's but I'm thinking about another pair of New Balances very soon...

MT580 Color Block pack

 

[lino32]

That article was beyond dumb. I looked at it maybe get a laugh but I came away just annoyed and just couldn't believe the audacity of the writer.

Well my nerdy self is happy my case 999s shipped. Anyone from Socal order from there before can telle how long usually it takes? Thanks.

Anyone else find this part about nike funny? (And it was right above the NB section)

"Like QUALITY sneakers, this man is reliable, dependable and will accompany you wherever you go"

Well anybody who's has completely no idea what they're talking about obviously knows what's up.

Interesting vid on New Balance GS sizes...

[threegeees]

I think most people who aren't in the "sneaker culture," feel that way about people who wear NB

 

[jam3s121]

Those elite daily things are stupid, its mainly girls just posting stupid over generalized statements. It's like buzzfeed but only for girls who can't come up with idea's on their own

I need a pair of 998 hilltop blues in a 9.5. I slept and now 10 is the smallest size on jcrew.com! I know where some size 10 Deadstock Tassie Devils are for only $290. I'll trade info for info . But If you are really interested in the pretty cheaply priced tassie's I'll let you know where to find them. Hoping I can fins these hilltop in my size. Maybe someone will return one in that size, just gonna keep looking every day. Anybody have luck with that before on jcrew, a size popping back after it has sold out?
