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.

The Streets

Why did we include The Streets in the Thestreets store?

As a streetwear brand, The Streets stands for being able to speak the language of the city without posing. The street likes things that look natural even after the tenth wear, not just on the first day. When a piece can be included in a regular wardrobe and at the same time has its own attitude, it will find a place in the city.

Most often these are simple combinations, where the cut balances the silhouette and the rest remains calm. In practice, streetwear does not win with the number of layers, but with the fact that you can function normally all day long in it. When the fit is folded quickly and still holds, that is the point when things stay in rotation.

How to wear them, what to combine them with?

• for everyday days in the city, when walking, sitting and moving alternate

• for meetings after school or work, where the outfit looks relaxed without theatricality

• in the transitional period, when layers change and the fit must also work with a jacket

• for weekend mode, when you want comfort and easy-to-assemble outfits

• for days when you want a street vibe, but don't want to deal with "style" as a project

For this, universal sneakers, while for longer transfers people often rely on new balance.

What to look out for when buying

With a streetwear brand, it is important whether the cut fits the figure and whether the piece can be worn repeatedly without becoming "one outfit". The differences are often in the shoulders, length and how the thing behaves when moving. When it is comfortable and legible, it does not have to have a loud visual.

The most common things to consider are:

• whether the shoulder and sleeve fit so that you can move normally all day

• how the length works with the pants you wear most often

• whether it can be layered without the fit looking too tight

• how the piece behaves after a day of wearing it, when walking and sitting alternate

• whether it can be combined with different shoes without breaking up the silhouette

When it comes to shoes, it is often a question of whether the result should look more relaxed or more expressive, which is why vans, or conversely a more stable urban silhouette like nike air force.

Frequently Asked Questions - FAQ

How to wear it so that streetwear doesn't seem forced?

It helps to let one piece do the work and keep the rest simple in cut and color. When an outfit breathes and isn't overloaded with details, it looks more natural.

Can it be rotated every week without it always looking the same?

Yes, when the pieces are based on a cut and can be combined with different pants and shoes. Streetwear works best when it consists of wearable basics and not one-off ideas.

Practical experience, tips and tricks

Most often, I see that people only like things after they find that they can function normally in them all day. There are many similar fits in the fitting room, but only when you move will you see if something is pulling, twisting or needs to be adjusted. In streetwear, the biggest difference is the proportion, not the number of elements. When the silhouette is right, the outfit looks calm without much fuss.

Who is The Streets brand for

It suits people who want streetwear for everyday life and don't want to make an event out of it. It also makes sense for those who are careful about wearability and build their wardrobe with simple combinations. It works in a city where the pace changes and an outfit should be held without pressure.
