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

Long-term experience and repeated reviews show:

The North Face

Why did we include The North Face in Thestreets?

The North Face sticks around in the city because people deal with practical things: wind, transitions between heat and cold, moving around, and the fact that the day is often not planned in detail. The street takes functional layers and rewrites them in its own way, without the need to play it outdoor. When clothes can handle the pace, they become routine.

Most often, it is about layering, which works without major adjustments during the day. The top layer should keep you comfortable when moving around and at the same time not feel heavy when you stop indoors. When it is put together well, the outfit feels calm and practical, not like a trip to the mountains.

How to wear them, what to combine them with?

• in the transitional period, when the temperature changes between morning and evening

• for moving around the city, when walking, public transport and standing outside for a long time alternate

• for days when the program changes and you need a layer that will maintain comfort

• for traveling, when you alternate between exterior and interior and you don't want to deal with volume

• for a simple street fit, where the top layer holds the silhouette without excess pressure

Most often, people base it on everyday sneakers, and when the day is built on walking, I naturally reach for new balance.

What to look out for when buying

When choosing a top layer, it's worth considering whether you can function normally in the city in it: shoulder movement, comfort when sitting, and whether it can be worn without having to wear exactly one type of sweatshirt underneath. The cut and length are very important, because they determine whether it looks natural. It also makes sense to think about whether you will wear the layer daily or more specifically in specific conditions.

The most common things to consider are:

• can you move your shoulders and back without feeling cramped?

• how the length works with the pants and the entire proportion of the outfit?

• can you layer without the fit looking bulky?

• how the layer behaves when sitting and moving around as the day goes on?

• does it fit into a regular street wardrobe without looking too "outdoorsy"?

When it comes to footwear that maintains a relaxed street feel, often the top layer naturally pairs with vans, and for a more pronounced urban silhouette, many people rely on nike air force.

Frequently Asked Questions - FAQ

Can this be worn in the city without looking like hiking gear?

Yes, the combination and cut are key. If you keep the rest of the outfit simple and casual, the top layer will remain practical, not thematic.

How do I know if it will fit me when layered over a sweatshirt?

It helps to try moving your shoulders and sit down, because that's where you'll see if it's too tight. If you can move comfortably with the bottom layer, it will work on a real day.

Practical experience, tips and tricks

When it comes to outerwear, people are often surprised that the most important thing is not "durability on paper", but whether you can live in it in the city. When a person feels cramped in a car or on public transport, they quickly stop wearing it. The cut in the shoulders and the length that keeps the proportion make the biggest difference. When it fits, the layer goes into rotation automatically.

Who is The North Face for

It fits people who are outdoors a lot and want to have peace of mind in changing weather. It also makes sense for those who travel, move around and need a layer that will keep you comfortable without a big solution. It works in urban mode, where walking, indoors and outdoors alternate in one day.

Customer reviews of The North Face
