New York sneaker tributes are a dime new balance 247 a dozen, but the best ones just have that special something that's hard to pinpoint. This is the case with this latest collab between Ronnie and New Balance that turns the 998 into a nighttime sleeper. That's meant to be a compliment, I swear&

Collaborations are a win for everybody because two different brands/companies are able to work new balance mens shoes together to get their name out there and most of the time the quality of the release is better than their new balance shoes for men inline work. So I expect to see more collaborations than ever in 2016 so everybody can stay winning together.

If you didn't pay attention to anything other than what Jordan and Kanye were doing in 2015 then you're in for a big surprise come new balance X90 2016. Runners are taking over the game!

When we think of a brand/boutique/person that is known for putting out countless amazing sneaker collaborations time and time again, one name that pops up is new balance 860 Ronnie Fieg. Ronnie got his start in the sneaker industry at 13 years old working in the stock room at a local sneaker store. Over the years he kept continually climbing the ladder of success and eventually began collaborating with renowned brands like Asics, New Balance and PUMA to design his own sneakers.

In 2011 he opened up his own apparel and footwear boutique called Kith NYC which now has two locations in New York. 2015 was another banner year for Fieg as he collaborated with multiple brands that include Asics, New Balance, PUMA, Diadora and more to release some exceptional projects.
