![New Balance 574 Un-N-ding [Grey]](/images/birkenstockarizonastock.jpg)
New Balance's popularity can in no doubt be at least partially attributed to
a loyal fanbase that grows through word-of-mouth. Any New Balance fan will
tell you about how New Balance's sneakers are both made with higher quality
materials and more comfortable to wear than nearly anything put out by Nike
or Adidas at the same price point, and they are absolutely right. My dad
loved New Balance sneakers, and for a long time, I couldn't shake the feeling
that they felt dated, even when they were new.
However, with the explosion of "dad shoes" like the Nike Air Monarch IV, the
"vintage" appeal of trainers that look like they once belonged in the 90s now
feels almost timelessly reinvigorated. Perhaps that's just how trends have to
be filtered; when a previous decade's fashions seem too outlandish, you just
wait for the inevitable revival that leaves behind a lot of the trends that
don't get to come back as "vintage".
Regardless of my newfound appreciation for sneakers that look like they came
from an era where everyone wanted Nike Air Maxs, I've still never grown fond
of the big N logo on most of New Balance's shoes. I'm sure you can tell I was
excited when I learned that an "Un-N-ding" variant (which omits the N, if it
wasn't obvious) was releasing for 2021's "Grey Day" collection, New Balance's
made-up annual tradition for releasing a somewhat "special" set of shoes in
the celebrated warm grey tone they've been using for decades.
