Creativity is King

Here’s why New Balance is awesome: they stay putting out great retros in awesome, inspired colorways. A brand that has respect for the old and the new. I’m not a huge fan of all their designs, but these are winners. Mad props to New Balance. These are called the M1300 and are part of the “Made in England” line.

I was gonna make some sort of “JGoods should customize some NB’s” joke but New Balance really doesn’t put out a great many shoes that are susceptible to customization. Too much mesh and suede and whatnot, plus the materials they use are of real quality.

Whereas take off that nasty plasticky Nike Air Force 1 finish and spladow! You got yourself a canvas in no time flat.

As is always the case, these are available pretty much nowhere and if you do find them, they’ll be really expensive. C’est la vie.
