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.

Vans

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

Vans is a streetwear brand that doesn't need much explanation. It has its origins, but in the city it also works quite simply: as a shoe that fits into an everyday life and a relaxed silhouette. When something feels natural when you move and can be worn repeatedly, the street will keep it.

Most often, this is through a clean fit, where the shoe keeps the step relaxed and the rest of the outfit is more about the cut than the inscriptions. Vans works when it's not crowded and simplicity is allowed to work. When moving around the city, it quickly becomes clear whether it's a pair that goes into rotation naturally.

How to wear them, what to combine them with?

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

• for a free weekend mode, when the outfit should be relaxed and without much solution

• with wider trousers, where the silhouette of the shoes looks natural and does not overpower the rest

• for meetings outside, when you want a civil impression without a sports set

• for traveling, when a simple pair that can be worn over and over again is suitable

When considering an alternative for longer walks, many people alternate their wardrobe with new balance. And with a more pronounced basketball-street mood, the nike dunk will naturally also be included in the combinations.

What to look out for when buying

When choosing, it is good to be honest about how much you will actually walk in them and what type of day awaits you. In the city, the feeling in your step after an hour is decisive, not the first impression in the fitting room. It also makes sense to consider how the shoe goes with the pants you wear most often, because a simple silhouette can be sensitive to proportions.

The most common things to look at are:

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

• whether the shape fits in the front so that the leg is not cramped during a long day

• how the silhouette looks with the length of the pants you normally wear

• whether it can be worn repeatedly without feeling like the outfit is always the same

• how the rest of the fit works so that the result does not look "too sporty" or "too school"

When an outfit is to be shifted towards a more urban stability, nike air force, and as a complete basis for regular movements, simple sneakers are still held.

Frequently asked questions - FAQ

Are Vans more for short movements, or can you work in them all day?

It depends on how much you walk and what your daily routine is. It is best to notice whether nothing presses after an hour of walking and whether your step remains natural without having to correct it.

How to wear it so that the outfit doesn't look too "skate uniform"?

It helps to keep the rest of the outfit civil and work with the cut, not with a lot of thematic details. When the fit is simple, the shoes are just a natural base.

Practical experience, tips and tricks

With this silhouette, I often see people decide after a few steps and after noticing how it goes with their pants. When standing, everything looks the same, but walking will show if the leg feels natural. The biggest difference is the proportion: when the shoes and pants "fit" together, the outfit feels calm without much thought. And that's exactly why Vans remains in rotation.

Who is Vans for?

It suits people who want a simple urban base and don't want to tackle their wardrobe as a project. It also makes sense for those who like a relaxed street style without a sporty feel. It works on days when the pace changes and the outfit should remain natural.
