My brother WIGGZ is a lifestyler extraordinaire. He created the website Show Ya’ LO and he travels far and wide to preach the gospel of the lifestyle.
WIGGZ fell thru the other day for one of our SFU drops featuring New Balances because he thought we might have had our wires crossed on the style number of the NB hiking boot. We love the NBs here at DP.com and we love that New Balance has retro’d their heritage styles.
Here are some images of the OG NB hiker which just went for $51 ($36 bid + $15 S/H) on the eBay system. That was a steal. I hope that WIGGZ was the winning bidder. These joints are boss. And peep the official Vibram soles. New Balance was nothing to fux with back in the day.
I have a soft spot in my heart for NB’s even though I only own one pair ( black leather with white trim 574’s). At this point I’m sure I’ve had them about a decade, they still fit my foot PERFECTLY, and are probably the most comfortable kicks I own. I barely wear them out to really do shit, mostly to the store or to play ball/go for a jog (VERY RARE) but they still look crispy as shit and that sizing is ON POINT. Although I’ve grown up a bit in the last 10 years and stilettos, ballet flats, and boots have been more appropriate for my lifestyle, these kicks will stay in the repertoire. I heart you, New Balance.
i want to know how come we don’t get all the fancy styles of new balances like they get in england. i’m not trying trying to pay euro prices plus shipping to get some.
HA-HA..’PREESHIATE THE SHOW OF LOVE MY BROTHA! YOU KNOW WE DOES THIS LIFESTYLE THING TO A “T”…THE SOUL CONTROLLERS IF YOU WILL….
ON THOSE BEAUTIFUL LEATHER OG’s UP THERE, WASN’T ME WHO TOOK HOME THE TROPHY ON THOSE BUT THEY ARE QUITE A SITE. I SECOND MS. AMANDA’S EMOTION ABOUT NB’S BEING THE MOST COMFORTABLE KICKS I HAVE EVER STEPPED FOOT IN. UNFORTUNATELY MY ’98 1300’s JUST KICKED THE BUCKET ON ME. DAMN NEAR THE WHOLE ENCAP IS BACK-TALKIN’ ON BOTH SHOES. SHED A DRY TEAR FOR ME Y’ALL…I’LL TRY TO PROVIDE PIC LINKS OF THEIR TRAGIC DEMISE SOON…
plus one with the New Balance lovefest…nhjic
