What's this talk that sneakerheads aren't looking for Classic retro shoes?

According to this article, Footlocker Chief Executive Bruce Hartman made a forecast that the sales of higher-priced technical footwear would pick up through 2005 and stating that the demand for relatively inexpensive, classic style shoes like New Balance 574s-- have leveled off. I haven't seen proof of that in the New Balance stores but then I don't sell the Adidas 1!!!

Well, I don't know about you but I'll be cool in my $59.99 Classic New Balance Retro's.

Oh yeah, don't you want to know what a sneakerhead is? They are collectors of trendy athletic footwear willing to cough up hundreds or even thousands of dollars on hard-to-find sneakers that few others have. They even have their very own shoe collectors magazine.

New Balance Tampa has a new arrival. New Balance just released this limited edition easy on / easy off slip on retro recovery shoe. This retro shoe is hot, hot,hot. The girls at the stores love these shoes!

Return of the original and classic 801 New Balance trail running shoe. This is the original New Balance 801 which was made in 1998. The 801 propelled New Balance to #1 in trail running and remains the best selling series today. The 801 also brought bigger clients to New Balance and it put New Balance in the big leagues. It captured the attention of high school and college kids everywhere. New Balance then went on to develop the 802, 803, 804, 805, 806, 807, 808 and most current the 809.

Brought back, this classic retro is now available in Women's and Men's sizes.

Some people enjoy all the new technology and fashion of upcoming sneakers, with the side snaps and mp3 players built into the laces (just kidding).

But if Old School style is right down your alley, you need to check out New Balance Classics website that not only introduces you to the designers who think up these beauties, but also the shoes themselves.

It's a nice retro website with some throwback graffitti in the background.
Hope you enjoy.
