new balance 247 sneakers in olive

greennb

last week j. crew released a new collaboration with new balance featuring some stylish workout gear.  being that i’m quite partial to lulu and now outdoor voices, i’m not going to jump on any of the clothes portion of this collaboration, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t.  you can check out the full collection here.  there are some really good pieces.  what i am going to do is grab a pair of these olive green kicks you see before you because the color is too good to pass up and they look ridiculously comfortable.  i’ll report back as soon as i have them in my possession.

new balance crt300

nbcrt2015i don’t play tennis, but that doesn’t matter, because these kicks are fire.  i’m a big fan of new balance court classics and these are another stellar collaboration with j. crew (obviously).  i really don’t need any more summer kicks, but why the hell not?  it’s always good to have options.  get your own right here before they sell out.  they’re going quickly.

for fall: new balance crt300

nb1.300

summer is winding down (or at least i hope it is.  it’s way too damn hot outside).  i’m ready for the fall.  i like everything about the fall i.e. football, european football, baseball playoffs, cooler weather, whiskey, tailgates, jackets (i was a fat kid growing up), more football.  you get the picture.  one thing you’re going to need for all this fall goodness is a pair of transition kicks.  enter the new balance crt300.  it’s a suede and mesh retro looking tennis shoe featuring new balance’s revlite soul technology (it means they’re super light, ya dingus).  i’m a big fan of this weird looking blue, but if you’re not digging it, more colorways are available at newbalance.com.

j. crew x new balance “independence day” 998

jcrewnewbalanceindependence

j. crew and new balance need to stop this madness.  i can’t take it anymore.  i missed out on the 998 inferno.  i will not miss out on their new limited edition collaboration: the “independence day” 998.  they were released exclusively at 3 stores this morning (ny, la and hong kong???) and will be available online on june 18.  if you were lucky enough to be one of the first 20 to cop earlier today, then you received a free ebbets field flannel 1776 hat (see below).  dear j. crew, hurry up and put a men’s store or liquor store or whatever in nashville, so we can get some sweet exclusives.  haven’t you heard that nashville is the “it” city?  everyone else is moving here.  you should too.

new balance 891 high-top sneaks

Screen Shot 2014-03-25 at 5.58.16 PM

my girlfriend may kill me if i don’t quit buying shoes (should be the other way around, right?).  there are so many good kicks on the market e.g. stan smiths, jordan iii infrareds, air max anniversary.  i could name 10 more, but i’m not going to.  at this moment, i have my eyes on these high-tops from new balance.  i love the navy / orange contrast, and since they’re made by new balance, you know they’re going to be comfortable as hell (that makes little sense but you get the point).  they need to be on my feet as soon as possible.  you can buy them here.

new balance windcheater jacket

nbwindcheater

let’s be honest: if you buy this jacket, you’re probably not wearing it running unless you’re running errands on a cool summer morning.  i could have used it last week while i was at the beach (it rained every damn day).  it’s nylon, hooded, and made in the good ole u.s. of a.  i’m really digging the yellow/navy combo.  you can buy your very own here.

new balance camo 501

DSC_4934-630x421

if you’re a gq reader, then you may have seen these in the latest issue.  if you’re a sneaker freaker, then you most likely caught these in february via kicks on fire (where i jacked these pics.  thanks, guys).  and if you read both, then kudos for you for being awesome.  i missed out on those ball and buck new balances in november, so i’m going to work hard to snag a pair of these when they’re released this summer.

thoughts on: ball and buck x new balance 574 in mountain green

Ball-and-Buck-x-New-Balance-574-Mountain-Green-01

ball and buck’s collaboration with new balance is back, but this time they’re in “mountain green.”  hmm.  mountain green, eh?  interesting color choice.  i missed out on the grey ones in september and was looking forward to the second chapter of this collaboration.  i figured they’d stick with grey.  in all honesty, i’m not loving these.  the orange really throws me off.  it looks good on the grey kicks, but it’s a stretch here.  these will be available christmas day at ball and buck’s store as well as online.  what do you think about the new colorway?  would you drop $149 for a pair?  i might, but only because i missed the boat on the first ones.

new kicks on the cheap

nb1

as mentioned a couple of times on to take the train, new balance is one of my favorite shoe brands.  you know you’re getting comfort and quality when you purchase a pair of new balance shoes.  lately they’ve been putting out a lot of collaborations and special versions of their popular models to please the sneaker heads and the casual fan.  (ps ball and buck if you read this blog, please hook me up with camo 574s.  i will be your best friend forever.)  not necessarily lost in all of the hype is the classic 574 which you can find pretty much anywhere for under $60.  i was close to pulling the trigger on a new pair of 1400s from j. crew as well as some of the new 998s from kith, but since it’s the holiday season and i shouldn’t be spending money on myself, i went with a cheap pair of 574s from zappos for $51.  i know you’ve seen nb 574s thousands of times, but these look too good not to mention.

new balance 990 30th anniversary edition

the new balance 99x series is the reason i love new balance shoes.  i bought my first pair in 8th grade after discovering that all phish-loving college students wore these to shows (not embarrassed to admit that detail).  since then, i’ve been a loyal new balance customer with a penchant for 574s as well as many other models (1400s, 420s, u455s, 1300s, etc).  i was very pleased to see their latest press release.  on december 1st, new balance is releasing the 30th anniversary edition of their 990 shoe which is made in the usa and true to the original 1982 shoe.  only 990 pairs will be available at select new balance retailers i.e. you can’t buy them online.  “on a scale of 1000, this shoe is a 990.”
