New Balance is s fairly strong brand around Boston. This was a home town deal much like Under Armor signing Maryland.

Fucking sweet. I know nike is the gold standard but they suck shit sometimes

Yup. Keeping things in Boston.

I actually liked NB's Liverpool uniforms too, much as I hate that team. They just didn't have the international marketing pull to really activate that deal.

If your kid becomes a high school O lineman, you'll really love NB. Wide sizes, well built, last more than half a season. And as a fat dad, I like them very much too. So fuck the haters, my feets are happy.

Maybe he lost a leg to the beetus and his high school mascot was a duck. YOU DON'T KNOW

Could still have two feet even with just one leg.  You don't know.

NB does not even appear to make a line of football shoes or cleats.

From time to time, it appears to me that OL wear high-top basketball shoes on turf.  Is this accurate?

I hear Nebraska is working on a new deal and they are playing Kaepa against KSwiss

Boston College is a baseball school?

 

When I think of New Balance and sports, MLB is just about it.

I heard Stride Rite is a later player in the mix.

If UCLA doesn't sign with LA Gear, then the entire planet should end. Why even have things if you can't resurrect the greatest shoe brand in history to bring glory back to UCLA.

Too late.  We already signed with Jumpman.

And I for one exclusively buy NB for my running shoes.  Of course I am a 54 year old father of 2.

I switched to On Cloud for running shoes (and for wearing when not running).  I love them.

There is a certain model or line of NB walking shoe or some such that is as readily identifiable with senior citizens as dark socks with sandals, or velcro diabeetus shoes.

I believe these are them.

Also available in black for the super fuddy duddies.

Apart from that, I think they make pretty decent shoes.

Lol.... I get the picture...    I know some folks with plantar fasciitis are die hard NB too. 

 

This is what I wear as my everyday shoe when not at work...     Comfortable as heck

They do make good Baseball cleats.  My oldest wore them when he played high school ball.  When everyone else was on the Nike and Under Amour bandwagon, our school bought New Balance cleats for the team.

A guy named Theron Brown who ran sprints for Hebert High in Beaumont used to wear these in prelims at track meets. He might bust out some spikes for the finals if he was feeling any pressure, but he’d usually just stick with the Zips. Also had that pouch for his lunch money 

currently wearing these. 574's for life. fuck the haters!

Like 40 buckarinos at the outlet

4E is almost too wide for my fatass wide foot

Someone needs to sign with that dollar store shoe company my high school used for football cleats. Looked like a chuck Taylor with a shorter toe cap and instead of a swoosh it had a comma on its side. They were probably $2 a pair back in the late 80s.

I thought the pouch was part of Roos Shoes

I really thought K-Swiss was going to take off after they got a new MFCEO...

they make the best baseball cleats.   Will be interesting to see if their basketball shoes take off with the Kawhi deal they have.

That's a white power group right?

They were good enough for Sweetness.  For whatever they spent on his endorsement, it damned sure lasted...

Let the dad meme’s what commence?
New Balance only makes dad shoes

Haha..wasnt that funny? Tbh for a while their shoe styles were kinda stale and old school, but that seems to be coming back in fashion now.

Edit- I see it was grammar Nazi-ing...well played

I trained in NewBs when i ran the 800 in HS.

My 14yo son likes his NewBs now (hes 14 yo in HS). He also likes UA and Skechers. He's an old 14.

My 12yo wants AF1s and Jordans and shit...

But at the end of the day, they both like Crocs more than anything.

Shoe game is whack these days.

Bought 2 pair from Penny's last year while they were on sale(under $50). Love the shit out of them. 

 

I don't see myself spending crazy money on Nike anymore.  Well maybe some Jordans, but that's it.
