New Balance 998
Gary: “In 1993 I was too busy chasing after Jordans, Barkleys and garish Air Raid IIs to opt for something this sublime. Now I can appreciate the New Balance 998 for that shape and build. They’re a beautiful shoe and the shape is just on point. The suede and fit is perfect…the USA factory is putting out some of the best shoes in the amassed stacks around me these days. I’ve been a fan of the Asian-made 999s for a minute but these are just a next level sneaker in terms of quality. New Balance seems to be gathering disciples at the moment. As long as they keep this kind of shoe coming, I can’t see that market growth subsiding.”
