I always try to make a conscious effort to check out blogs during New York and Paris Mens Fashion Weeks to keep on top of upcoming trends. Of course it's nothing like being at the actual shows, but viewing the collections from afar makes it easy to piece together the trends across the board.
During this year's shows so far, I've noticed a few stand out trends and the one that particularly jumped out at me was New Balance. It's interesting to see it's transition from being "street" to a more up-market style this time around and now seen as a decent substitute to your Converse All Star or the Vans Authentic.
Not only are New Balance now stylish, but they are also pretty comfortable too, being the first running shoe to be designed with a ripple sole. That technology is unchanged.
