Who Really Started The New Balance Trend?

[@newbalance365]

RIP John from Lee's in N Philly. My homie Manny Dominguez took that pic of him. It was for an article on the 990v4 for Sneaker Freaker magazine that we worked on and that I helped write

Seems like it's been folks in Japan and DC that have consistently worn NBs.

[@newbalance365]

DC for sure, but you forgot to mention Sao Paolo and Tokyo for NB loyalty over the past few decades and had just as much an impact on NB's popularity

That’s wild how Philly is actually getting written in history like this, when I, a cat from VA, 757 wore NB up there in the 90s that was not their claim to fame. But just like my family a lot of people from Philly has ties to Virginia and E.Shore MD. And we all go up there often. And that’s no slight to Philly. I guess people still think it’s cool to tryn front on VA.
