Lots of people here saying it’s a trend, but I think the look is constructed of such strong aesthetic principles that it’ll always look good. Hopefully it’s here to stay as a point of reference to return to from more daring ventures to the fringes of contemporary style.

But in 2021 I really started paying attention to New Balance, and I really like the models I have so far!

    it is so funny to compare the rest of the world VS the DMV's perception of New Balances. (+ DMV like the DC-MD-VA metropolitan area, not the department of motor vehicles). Like one of the themes for my HS spirit week was "DMV Culture Day" - everyone was wearing stereotypical black puffer jackets, white beaters, and gray 990s (just an exaggerated version of the average day in the DMV) 990s have never been clowned on by anyone I know as "dad shoes"... bc we're all always wearing them. we all know that they're comfy and they're a great everyday shoe. And they don't JUST go with the vintage look, i'd say they're v versatile. if ur scared of being judged for wearing "dad shoes" don't be too pressed, they're a genuinely good shoe. so comfortable. regardless, love seeing ppl get put onto new balances as they're coming more and more into the mainstream. say whatever you want ab their looks, they have a real history in the DMV, nd for that reason I find them so charming. i genuinely recommend them to people if u were thinking of getting a pair. once u get out there and start mowing a few lawns and they start getting stained with green grass clippings thats when they hit their peak Fr.

    New Balance is so much more than the 550, hyped 2002Rs, and "dad shoes". I highly recommend diving into the world of the general release pairs, especially the Made in USA and UK models. There are so many readily-available GRs on quality-made models out there. That's one of the biggest reasons why New Balance appeals to me. Great designs, good quality, and actually being able to buy for retail. Of course, I too enjoy the 550s and there's no doubt how dope the refined future pack is, but New Balance is so much more than that.

    As already pointed out here in the comments, I think a lot of the hype has to do with Japanese Americana making a lot more waves in North American street style. I remember getting turned on to new balance in a big way when I spent some time in Tokyo back in 2018. I think New Balance (especially the 550s) will fall out of the popularity they're seeing right now, but I don't think the brand will disappear. Japanese Americana is here to stay imo and so I think silhouettes like the 990s will be here to stay too.

    This video while insightful was over the top. It doesn’t take hours of research to understand why New Balances are carrying some weight. It’s a simple product that’s carved out their “niche”. Unlike the dunks, off-white, and Yeezy in your face colorways and design, New Balances are just simple. This is a cycle we’ve seen time & time again. Wear what you like, not what is “hype”.

    i actually was hoping you’d make a video on this. i jumped on the new balance thing a couple months ago after a general dissatisfaction with the general crop of stuff that nike and adidas was doing, and decided to put my fears of being goofed on to rest. i managed to catch a restock of the dtlr collab 2002Rs and they are the best shoes i’ve ever bought, hands down. they feel and look so good. i’ve never been a shoe guy really, but it’s started a whole love story with this brand, and i’m definitely going to dive deeper soon.
