New Balance 990
The New Balance 990? Absolute GOAT material. I mean, who wouldn't want a shoe that screams ‘I’m too cool for regular sneakers’ while also being a secret weapon in the dad-shoe design game? It’s got that dad-enthusiast energy, yet still nails it on the fashion runway. Every time I lace them up, it’s like I’m putting on my battle armor for the quest of just trying to look effortlessly chic at the grocery store. And let’s face it, the fanbase is nothing short of obsessive—it's like they’ve all shared the same pair of perfectly worn-in shoes that seems to elevate any outfit. Fight me if you disagree; these kicks are legendary!
