I'm sure the real sneaker heads can speak on this but seems like NB is on fire with sales. However I just don't see the appeal. Sneaker heads are doing reviews on YT saying how much they love them but I don't get it. They are priced similar to Adidas but they look pretty boring and screams I'm old as fukk. I never baught any and never tried them all because I can't get passed the looks of these things.

New Balance have always had a following, but were never a hyped up shoe until recently. I remember Pfife of A Tribe Called Quest and Raekwon of Wu-Tang mentioning them in the 90s, but that wasn’t enough to get me to try a pair.

I’ve seen several reviews on their quality, especially the 650 model and apparently, they aren’t all that quality wise. I guess some of the running models have excellent quality, but they aren’t my thing. I just chalk it up to hype and people wanting to be different.
