I love a sneaker. LOVE a sneaker. One of the go-to brands I turn to again and again? New Balance. Personally, I’ve been wearing the classic 574 “dad sneaker” style since high school (which, ahem, wasn’t that long ago), and live in my 327s today.
I constantly clock them on guys, too, and it’s been fun seeing the brand’s recent surge in popularity with men over the last few years. Especially since the Boston-based company dates all the way back to 1906 with humble origins as s producer of arch supports.
Honestly? I give them their flowers for just staying in the game this long!
Today, the brand has some excellent athlete ambassadors, from Kawhi Leonard to Coco Gauff, but I’ll always hold a spot in my heart for their lifestyle offerings.
Even if you don’t know your 576 from your 550, a 990 from a 997, you can still appreciate that a casual pair of New Balance sneakers can elevate any outfit from comfortably casual to cool without trying too hard.
So, which New Balance sneakers should you get this spring?
The short answer? It depends.
The longer answer? It depends on what pairs you already own (if any), what you like to wear, and how adventurous you want to get with your footwear. From the classic grey walkaround footwear to more colorful, textured options, there’s a pair of NBs for every guy.
Whether you just got a new pair and you need some inspiration, or you’re ready to invest and want to see how they might fit into your existing wardrobe, we’ve got you. Scroll on for some extremely top tier New Balance outfits created by some extremely stylish dudes.
A disclaimer: While I love wearing sneakers, I don’t claim to be a sneakerhead. So, if any of the New Balance sneakers in this roundup are misidentified, don’t come for me!!
