New Balance

Hahahahaha

[Matt]

What do you guys think about these Commes de Garçon collabs…

[MTpockets]

Anyone picking these up?

@Matt oh no they did not.

[jordanscollected]

@MTpockets That cream material is nearly impossible to clean if it gets soiled. They are nice looking shoes though.

[Matt]

@jordanscollected I actually love them.

[jordanscollected]

@Matt had to head over to the Reddit post to see what others thought. It's a mixed bag. You have better style than me so they must be bangers

[Matt]

The Wallabies that is. The Baklavas aren’t exactly doing it for me but the colors will be pretty dope for spring for those who like them.

My last pair of NB 2002R in white are battered so tempted by a new pair.

[Brian]

I’m tempted by these

[Matt]

I know, right?

[Matt]

Got a great deal on these on eBay…

[Matt]

They go great with the fleece…

[ZackB]

Goes great with the fleece, I might need to find some new balance again. Wish they still did the custom ones

[AdamJ]

I need a black pair for when it's no longer boot season. Last two pairs of 2002r have fallen apart after a year or so, so I'm going off them. Any recs?

[goosehd]

@AdamJ high use or shite quality? I’m surprised that they fell apart so quickly. One and you would think that it’s a fluke, but two makes you wonder.

[AdamJ]

@goosehd unsure mate, it always seems to be the heel that comes away, design flaw? Keen to try a different sole for that reason

[Tago Mago]

@AdamJ does it have to be New Balance? If no, give Shoes Like Pottery a try. Very happy with mine, all black looks cool imo

[AdamJ]

@Tago-Mago na not necessarily. Will check them out

[MTpockets]

@Matt - atta boy! Hope you dig the bright orange as much as I do. True workwear colors here IMO.

I wear this pair quite often - as well as the recent purple/brown baklavas - starting to enjoy the 992 quite a bit.
