Is this too much of a polarizing topic ?

or should it be moved to the political forum?

Those are some disgustingly bland looking shoes, but probably comfy as hell.

I once got bumped to first class on an overseas flight. It was quite nice. Unfortunately I wasn't wearing Newbalance.

Ugh. Carpeting.

Those were declared "the official shoe of white supremacy" in 2016, FYI.

Last time I flew first class I wore a Motörhead T-shirt and shorts. And I got gloriously drunk... along with most of the rest of first class. Flights out of Alaska are the best.

...replacing the long-held title from jackboots. I have to admit that "Newbalance-jogger thugs" doesn't quite have the same impact.

FWIW, they were declared such by white supremacists, not the company (or any sane person)

The "N" shoes? WTF?

well that like someone declaring Birkenstocks the official shoe of white people...it's just silly especially across the line /range of shoe/sandal models. not even Dr. Martens could be considered white saupremist shoes because plenty of punks and fashionistas wear them. Doesn't obama wear NB dad shoes?

They were embraced because they spoke in favor of the trade war, since their products are made in the US. It's one of those areas where white supremacists and organized labor overlap.

I have one pair of New Balance shoes: They are blinding white, and are used only for refereeing water polo (for which I also wear a white polo, white pants, and white belt). Apparently, Mr. Clean is the patron saint of water polo...
