My first pair of new balances were in 2007 or 2008. Royal blue and white 574s. I've bought quite a few pairs of assorted models and colorways throughout the years. I was surprised by new balances push into popularity a few years ago.
I miss the days when I could walk into a random spot in NYC...
Not sure why the DMV thinks they started everything 😂... New balance been a thing in NYC since the late 80s. Never a staple , but always in rotation. Y'all could have it
