I dislike it, i dislike the big N.
It was only good for two looks, dadcore (ie Seinfled) or the retro fake ivy league sport look (ie Aime Leon Dore).

People who wear New Balances unironically with anything else have no clue about fashion and no coherent style.

This. It was always dadcore like Jerry Seinfeld or the weird autistic dork with the roller backpack who always ran to class and had a T183 calculator at all times.

I enjoy mine.
They're wide, surprisingly high quality, masculine in shape, tame in color, and purposefully comfortable.

I wear shoes to complete tasks and stay healthy.
I don't wear shoes hoping a queer notices.

Yet you probably can't run for 30mn because you're overweight.
You also paired those shoes with slim dark wash jeans with a disgusting fade, you're a walking meme, absolutely vile.

I'm a 37-year-old 6'2" 213lbs white male white blond hair and blue eyes with a life filled with athleticism since childhood. "Long-distance" running is my regular exercise, and I have other cardio-specialties as well as a muscular physique from training.
Those jeans are not "slim." I hate slim/skinny cut clothes; I never purchase slim. They don't fit my thighs or crotch. They also aren't faded.

Looks like a special class, either way, what are you even doing on a fashion board? Also, delete that photo for your own good.

Given my status irl, I figure I could help influence other people seeking clothing to help identify their lives and social attractiveness. This thread asked for thoughts on "New Balance" shoes. I gave my thoughts. They're comfy for big guys.
I'll re-iterate; buy clothes that meet your standards and prioritize their usefulness over their Internet political states.

Everything they make looks bad. I don't know how they have any traction with consumers, but people have bad taste generally.

Where does taking a photo of them at the cinema fit in to all of this?

I didn't go to the theater selecting my clothes in the hopes it would be a party. Also, on truly personal note, this was an old photograph and I took it to prove to my questioning girlfriend about why I wasn't home when she swung by.

I like it because its logo is subtle way of being racist, lots of darkies probably hate seing a big N on sneakers.

Outside of people whose brains have been damaged by 4chan, I don't think anyone associates the letter N with racism. It's just one of the 26 letters to normal people.

new balance are classic, however, they're great for the Popeye city boy look, yet that look is played the fuck out since it became a thing in America, Europe and the tik Tok soft boy look.

I love my 2002, they look cool in a variety of looks. Wore them yesterday with a dadcore fit, but also look good in a multitude of other types of fits.

The Heck? I mean, they've been around since 1906. That's pre-WW1, kid; they've been selling their shoes for almost 120 years.
10/10 comfort
8/10 quality
Any fucking colorway you can think of
and cheap.

If you go into "DICK'S SPORTING GOODs," chances are not only will you find 6 different styles, you'll find each in 12 different colors, in YOUR size, at half-price. $50.

THAT'S why they're popular.

Not even trying to be racist, but for the Black guy's legs, are those his actual legs or is he wearing some sort of tights the same color as his skin? I know he's wearing the yellow shorts but those legs look way too shiny and reflective to actually be skin.

It was a classic American brand until they caved and started stuffing their hands with biracial people with vitiligo like all the rest.

No. Thatโ€™s exactly what new balance is. Like Sketchers are for old people, New Balance is for dorks.

The only time you should ever wear New Balance is if youโ€™re running or at the gym, otherwise, itโ€™s still to this day, the shoes for nerds who have no self awareness in their fashion.

The only acceptable sneakers are Nike and Addidas, essentially anything that has a hip hop look to it.

Even then, there are about 30 other, better options.
