Sneaker News Some call them loyal; others call them delusional. The New York sports fan, particularly those who plant their allegiance to orange and blue, may be living in a fantasy world at times, but there’s no denying the commitment to the process and to the pain.
Regardless of how promising or pitiful the team’s outlook is, orange and blue sneakers have always struck a chord with shoe-heads in the Big Apple and across the world. Take, for example, the Air Max Penny “Knicks” from 2005 or Danny Supa’s first-series Nike SB Dunk inspired by the Mets; both were widely coveted regardless of team affiliation. What makes this upcoming New Balance 2002R that much more attractive is the GORE-TEX protection, a crucial detail to keep your feet dry against spilled beer at stadiums.
As it stands, Knicks fans have a lot to look forward to the rest of the season because a Playoff appearance is in the cards, while Mets fans and their spend-friendly owner look to rebuild towards another 100+ win season. Things aren’t perfect, but they’re better than yesterday, and that’s a huge leap forward from the doldrums of just a few seasons ago. And if your team doesn’t get close to winning it all, at least the footwork will be a win.
New Balance is set to stock this 2002R GORE-TEX this Spring season for $180; see a closer look ahead and anticipate a launch soon.
