I finally bought New Balance sneakers. Where is my flabby and sick membership card?

Nike and Addidas no longer having Kanye/Virgil for ideas and marketing. I barely even see people dedicated to any of the shoe brands like how it used to be 5/10 years ago, that shyt is over
Outside of the slides all the other designs ye brought to Adidas came with him from Nike with Nike designers.

Don't make me get sneaker nerd more than I have in here. This thread is inflammatory.

Nike got too many classics to ever be over. Jordan's, Dunks, AF1s, Air Max, LeBrons, KDs, Blazers, Cortez, Cross Trainers, ACGs, Prestos, Frees

I can't really speak to Adidas as I never been into those like that. But Nike's are timeless. They are never going out.
Nike design kitchen/lab is the cheat code.

For example the sock style sneaker that was hot a few years ago across brands was a design they had in their play book since the mid 80s. There was also the barefoot running phenomenon that took over the running world in the mid 00's. Something Nike had been working on since the rift in 96

Nike got so many designs they shelve and revisit that end up revolutionizing the industry. They transformed modern running uppers on shoes and people are still in here saying what brand is good or bad when these brands have never been more more closely related design wise. They are literally all using the Nike playbook today. They knock Nike when they try new shyt but when it works everyone bites. The other brands do not spend the same on R&D. It's amusing to hear people say what's good and bad. The differences ha

New Balances arent flabby, unless you got some of them joints that look like they belong on a Cabbage Patch Doll, the dad shoes as they call them, and its usually obvious from how ugly and basic they look.

I got a pair of Asics for skipping rope

a pair of Skechers for walking (By far the most comforatable for me)

Pair of new balances for running

These are the 3 brands I swear by for comfort + style

So I finally went and did it.

I’ve had some lovely and comfortable sneakers before. Brooks Running and ASICS are well recommended.

But recently I went in and ordered some New Balance shoes. And I have to say, these are outright delightful.

Yes they’re dad shoes for the flabby and sick.
I don’t care.

They feel amazing. Like great sex. Or a perfectly toasted sandwich. Or when your wife leaves you alone in the house.

It’s over boys. I’ve crossed into the dark side.

:mjcry::flabbynsick:

Come with me.

:blessed:
:gucci: New Balance is fairly popular, especially in the DMV.

I went from having zero to 7 pairs in a matter of a month. I posted on here telling the Coli fam to put me on game with NB and they did. Love them. I live with 20min from a New Balance outlet store and found amazing deals compared to online. I just gotta chill now :dead:

I’ve never tried the Vapor Max. Dem shyts are ugly AF to me. More comfortable than the ultra boost for sure though. My pair of 9060’s most comfortable shoe I’ve ever worn. Imma default to those over a Nike shoe if I’m not trying to stunt
shhhhhhhhh! Let’s keep the 9060s a little secret between us ok lol
