It also marked the release of a running sneaker from Converse called the Thunderbolt, which now, over three decades later, sees new life […]

A Balanced Diet of Color and Style from New Balance

posted by

One thing about sneakers, some colorways work exceptionally well, while some just miss the mark. A shoe might sport colors that should, theoretically, go well with each other, yet still look really bad. There are those brands, on the other hand, who do colors sublimely well, like New Balance.
