New Balance Information

New Balance reviews are one thing, but this area of the site is dedicated to pure New Balance information for those that want to know more about the brand!

I’ve done plenty of reviews on NBs, both individual colorways as well as entire series.  That said, as I’m not collecting as much these days I’ve begun writing these informational articles.  I’m basing them off questions I’ve either been asked or see asked around the internet.

There’s so much that goes into learning about collecting sneakers.  I’m not surprised that as New Balance has made it’s way back into the forefront of sneaker collecting, many people are increasingly curious about the brand.  And people need answers!
