I loved this site at new balance 860V9 first, but every post since they've announced their plan to make a shitload of money from this site is just an unrealistic, unfunny, toothless stretch of the imagination that double as ads for companies like New Balance or whatever COMPLETELY NOT RELATED TO RACE products they can gently paw at in an attempt at satire.
WOW i use to my a manager at a Journeys shoe store, and i must say this is true& ..i worked in a very urban mall and journeys has like skate shoes and stuff so nobody really came in there( compared to foot locker!!!!) but when white people came in , they were like "OH MY GOSH& . LOOK AT ALL THESE SHOES& I FREAKIN LOVE NEW BALANCES!" along with birkenstocks, clarks, crocks, flip flops& & this new balance 996 is sooooo funny!!!!
white people wear new balance or asics or the brown shoes you cant tie. that aint no lie. so when your walkin down the street take a look at their feet. you will soon see that they are everywhere but you wont care like new balance sale me. cuz my feet will be bare before i try a pair..of white people shoes that can be worn by some jews. unless they are like me and refuse to wear that gear on their feet. so id like you to share with me if you ever meet.. a white person with brand new J's on their feet. i will continue my rhyme as soon as some one gives me a beat. or let my main man finish cuz we call him mencrezey.
Another white person reports: My good friend is new balance softball cleats unabashedly unhip. He might be kinda republican but hides it around me. He owns two pairs of New Balance runners that he wears with jeans and a Ralph Lauren polo to his office job, like a uniform. He is not a runner. These shoes see a lot of short pile nylon flooring.Do you know why I wear New Balance 608's? Because they freakin' FIT!!! And they last for a very long time. Nike's and Reebok's won't make it a year, they start coming apart after a few months. They are garbage. Now that Converse disappeared and then came back with outrageous prices instead of being the economy shoe, New Balance is the only way to go for athletic shoes. Sorry dude, Asics suck too.
I think your first responder h it it on the head& not everyone is a D, or medium width& which is the width in which about 97% of all shoes come in (casual, dress, sporty, sneakers, heals, etc., etc.,). I'm not morbidly obese or anything, but I have been new balance fresh foam 1080 blessed with very wide feet. The only reason I own, and have for many years, New Balance shoes is because they actually fit. That is an important factor when you run 3 or 4 miles. That's the only reason& trust me, it's not because they look cool.
For running, nothing beats New Balance imo. Their shoes come in various widths for better fitting and they usually take years of virtually anything I've thrown at them to finally require replacement. I couldn't care less about x product being made in y country, but Nikes fall apart on my feet within months.
