Men's Pants

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.

Pleasures

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

Pleasures works on the streets as a mood and attitude, not as something that tries to be for everyone. The city likes pieces that have a clear signature, but can still be worn without the outfit looking like a costume. When a thing holds its character over time, people come back to it without much ado.

Most often, it consists of one more prominent piece and the rest goes for simplicity so that the fit does not seem crowded. Pleasures is worn in a way that highlights the detail, but at the same time it is possible to walk and sit in it normally all day. With streetwear, it quickly becomes clear whether the cut fits or whether it requires constant adjustments.

How to wear them, what to combine them with?

• for city days when you want one character element and keep the rest clean

• for evening meetings where the outfit looks confident without pressure

• in the transition period when layers change and the fit has to work with movement

• with simple trousers so that the top has space and the silhouette remains legible

• for weekend mode when the outfit is put together quickly, but it should not seem random

To ground the more expressive top, a clean sporty base is often used in combinations such as adidas and sometimes a simple classic like Converse is chosen for shoes.

What to look out for when buying

With Pleasures, it's worth considering proportions and whether the piece can handle a normal day without ceasing to be fun after two wears. More expressive things can look great, but when the length or volume doesn't fit, the outfit starts to feel heavy. It helps to clarify whether the piece should be the center of the fit, or just one detail to a simple base.

The most common things to look for are:

• does the shoulder and sleeve fit so that you can move naturally

• how does the length and volume work with the pants you wear most often?

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

• how does the piece behave after a day of wearing it, when you alternate walking, sitting, and moving around?

• can it be combined with a clean base without having to put together a whole set?

Frequently Asked Questions - FAQ

How should I wear it so that the outfit doesn't look too tight?

Just let one piece do the work and keep the rest clean in cut and color. When the silhouette breathes, the character remains, but the fit doesn't seem forced.

Can Pleasures also be included in more civil combinations?

Yes, when the rest of the outfit is reduced to simplicity and the cut is worked on. The more expressive element then acts as a signature, not a costume.

Practical experience, tips and tricks

With more expressive streetwear items, the biggest difference is whether the proportion is right. People often change their minds only after they walk around it and sit down, because only then does it become clear whether the piece is twisting or dragging. It's surprising how quickly an outfit regains its calm when space is left around the expressive item. When it fits, it looks natural even after a day in the city.

Who is Pleasures for

It suits people who want streetwear with a clear signature, but still address wearability. It also makes sense for those who put together simple outfits and add one character element. It works in the city, where the pace changes and the outfit should hold without pressure.
