New Balance 498
Sean Williams: “Yup, I said it, the 498. On our site we have a section called The Come Up where people share sneakers they found for a dirt-cheap deal. We had a little bit of a lull and I submitted this New Balance 498 that I found. They had them on sale for $39.99. When I picked up the shoes there was only one shoe in the box. I had to wait so long to get the other shoe that the guy said I could have them for $29.99. They?re this very hard to find tiffany blue, black, and silver colorway, they?re insanely comfortable, and they?re Made in the USA. $29.99? I think it turned out pretty good.”
ASICS GEL Noosa Tri-6
Dee Wells: “They?re bright, they?re obnoxious, they glow in the dark. They look like a bag of Skittles that got hit over the head and threw up. I wore that sneaker to the Brooklyn Hip-Hop Festival and I can?t tell you how many people stopped me. It doesn?t matter where I wear it, people stop, take a look at it, give me the head nod, the thumbs up, the whole nine. I?ve worn the Gel-Lyte IIIs and they?re not as comfortable as these. People go out and run Ironman races and marathons in these.”
