New Balance

Why did we include the New Balance brand in the Thestreets store?

New Balance holds its own in the city through comfort and quiet confidence, not through the shouting around you. When your day is built on moving, stairs, paving and long standing, you start to notice what doesn't tire you. The street keeps such things because they work the same on Monday morning as on Saturday afternoon.

Most often it revolves around simple combinations, where the shoes hold the silhouette and the rest of the outfit is clean. New Balance can work as a base for loose pants, but also for a neater urban fit when you don't want to appear sporty. In practice, it will be shown whether you can walk normally all day in them without having to worry about every step.

How to wear them, what to combine them with?

• for all-day trips around the city, when walking, public transport and prolonged standing alternate

• for a simple fit with looser pants, when the goal is comfort without excessive sportiness

• for travel and trips, where the day consists of movement and different surfaces

• for days when you go straight from work or school and the outfit should work without changing

• in the transitional period, when layers change, but the step should remain stable

When dealing with contrast in the silhouette, someone softens it with adidas, and when the outfit wants to look more raw, sometimes it switches to a skate mood with DC Shoes.

What to look out for when buying

When choosing, the decision is usually made on the feeling of walking and whether the shape fits you. Some silhouettes look similar, but the difference becomes apparent after an hour of moving around, when the heel, toes and lacing start working. It also makes sense to think about whether you want a pair for everyday wear, or rather for specific situations.

The most common things to look at are:

• how the width fits in the front and whether the toes have natural space even after hours

• whether the step feels stable on pavement and asphalt when the pace changes during the day

• how the heel holds when walking faster and when stopping

• whether it can be combined with a regular wardrobe without the outfit looking like a workout

• how the silhouette behaves with the pants you wear most often

With a simple urban base, a pure classic like Converse and on top, a comfortable layer like Champion is suitable on a regular day.

Frequently Asked Questions - FAQ

Are New Balance shoes more for long walks, or just for "urban fit"?

Many people wear them for walking because they feel the difference after a few hours. When the shape fits and the step is stable, it works even on a long day without the shoe starting to get annoying.

How do I know if a particular silhouette will fit my foot?

It helps to perceive the feeling when walking and the stability in the heel, not just the first impression when standing. If you can relax your step in a shoe and nothing presses or floats, it usually fits in the real pace of the city.

Practical experience, tips and tricks

I have often seen with New Balance that people come for the look, but leave based on the feel of the step. The biggest difference becomes apparent on a longer day, when the movements become more extended and the foot starts to be sensitive to details. You will also be surprised at how much the right lacing and sock can do when it comes to stability. When the shape is right, the shoe stops being an issue and the day moves on.

Who is the New Balance brand for

It fits people who move a lot and want their shoes to support the day, not complicate it. It also makes sense for those who put together simple outfits and don't want to appear sporty. It works in urban mode, where walking, sitting and moving around without a break alternate.

New Balance Customer Reviews

Reebok

Why did we include the Reebok brand in the Thestreets store?

Reebok has its place in the city thanks to its ability to be sporty, but at the same time civil without making big gestures. The street keeps things that can be worn repeatedly and still look natural, even when trends change around them. When the silhouette is easy to read and works in motion, it will survive longer than a season.

Most often, it is based on a clean outfit, where the shoes make the base and the rest remains calm. Reebok is worn in a way that it works when walking around the city, when moving around, and during regular meetings, without having to constantly decide whether the outfit "fits". In practice, comfort and whether you can function normally in it all day long are the deciding factors.

How to wear them, what to combine them with?

• for regular city trips, when walking, public transport and prolonged standing alternate

• for a simple fit with looser trousers to give a relaxed silhouette

• for weekend mode, when the outfit is put together quickly and should work all day long

• for travel, when the pace and surface change during the day

• in the transitional period, when the layers change, but the step should remain stable

When putting together a fit, a sports base such as adidas and as a comfortable layer for transfers, Champion is naturally added.

What to look out for when buying

With Reebok, it is worth considering whether the shape fits your foot and whether you can walk in it all day without feeling pressure on your toes or heels. In the city, you will also see how the silhouette works with the pants you wear most often, because one wrong length can ruin the whole impression. It makes sense to be honest about whether you are looking for a regular pair or something "for an occasion".

The most common things to watch are:

• how it feels after a few hours, not just when you first put it on

• whether the heel holds steady when walking faster and when stopping

• how the width in the front fits so that the foot is not cramped on a long day

• whether it can be combined in a civilian way without the outfit looking too sporty

• how the silhouette works with the pants and the overall proportions of the outfit

When someone wants to keep an outfit on a pure street basis, they often ground it with Converse, and for a more robust urban stance, sometimes DC Shoes also appear.

Frequently Asked Questions - FAQ

Is Reebok more of a sporty choice, or can it also be worn completely civilian?

The combination and cut, not just the brand, will create a civilian impression. If you keep the rest of the outfit simple, the sporty base will disappear into the natural silhouette in the city.

How do I know if it will fit me for all-day wear?

The best thing to do is to feel the feeling when walking and the stability in the heel after a few minutes. If you can relax your step and nothing presses or floats, a long day is usually without unnecessary compromises.

Practical experience, tips and tricks

With Reebok, I have often seen that people only decide after they have tried it on. When standing, many silhouettes look similar, but walking will show whether the shape fits and whether the heel holds steady. You will also be surprised how much the choice of trousers can make, especially with looser cuts, where the silhouette of the shoe stands out more. When the proportions are right, the outfit looks relaxed without the need to press it.

Who is the Reebok brand for

It suits people who want a sporty base for the city and need the shoes to work at a pace. It also makes sense for those who put together simple outfits and don't want to look like they are training. It works on days when walking, commuting and regular meetings are mixed without a break.
