I for one, think New Balance makes some comfy sneakers. Way better than Nike.

Comfy, yes. Cool in the eyes of young people, not really.

New Balance, not just for middle aged dads anymore baby!

My 25 year old son said new balance are "cool AF"

I envision hilarious Dad jokes and a very well maintained front lawn in his not to distant future. May even bite his lower lip and pump his fist when touchdowns happen!

Yeah, my kid called them dad shoes at one point. Then a few years later wanted them.

They're the Rick Astley of sneakers.

"Well, do you remember Rick Astley?
He had a big fat hit that was ghastly":

New balance can do something pretty good with Boston college jerseys.

Not sure about “sneakers,” but NB is way better at running shoes.

I mean I had a pair in boot camp...lol

They issued us new balance go fasters ( what the Marines called sneakers), in Boot Camp in 1988.

Your son gets his lunch money taken by the kid wearing Nike ;-)

You had to run in boot camp? Never heard of that in the Air Force.

Likewise, the Air Force in 1991.

Remember the first rule of Federal Military budgets:

All weapons and gear are purchased from the lowest bidder.

Liverpool had NB kits which were miles better than the Nike kits in most iterations. Even when they failed with designs it was better than the cookie cutter Nike kits we Cuse fans of 10 years ago, and Illinois fans currently share

They need to lean into this hard.

Play the Home Depot song when the players run out onto the field.

Have "dad fashion" promotions for the student section.

BC branded khaki shorts.

Have chants like "good thing we got here when we did" and "don't make me turn this car around" and "hi hungry, I'm dad."

There's a real opportunity here.

They need a Progressive Insurance “Don’t turn into your parents” sponsorship.

my friends and i used to get BC football tix to tailgate, catch SU every other year, and see the
only D1 football in New England of any value. this isn't a terrible thing for them. The New
Balance Global HQ is 2 miles in a straight line from Chestnut Hill, and the Bruins and Celtics have
practice facilities in that HQ.

A few keypoints:
1. BC Sux
2. Nobody over the age of 40 should be wearing sneakers unless you're competing in something. The gray and the mix of colors coming from your feet don't match, just sayin'
3. BC Sux
4. Progressive makes you pay deductibles on glass those jackhats.
