DJ Mars Top 5 New Balance Sneakers of All Time

Sneaker aficionado, more specifically New Balance connoisseur DJ Mars(@djmars404) invites us into his closet to show us his Top 5 All Time New Balance shoes.

That fact that he explains how New Balance came to be his brand of choice is significant. It shows that role the sneaker played in his life and how there was a passing of the torch that took place when he turned his uncle on to the shoe. This is a great illustration of sneaker culture and regional pride. 

Being from Massachusetts shaped who they were and sharing an interest in style and sneakers allowed them to bond more and be proud of where they were.

If only more people could do the same.

Nice vid DJ Mars!

Raekwon The Chef x DJ Mars x New Balance

Raekwon The Chef takes the time to reminisce about the significance of sneaker culture to he and The Wu, but more specifically, New Balance sneakers.

He mentions historic locations they would shop like Albee Square Mall in Brooklyn, 125th Street in Harlem and 145th Street, in Harlem also.

In case you miss it, Rae is saying New Balance played a major role, aesthetically, during his years as an artist on the come up. It was tradition that lead him to choose the shoe and he sees no reason to break with it.

Fresh.

I love these spots that DJ Mars has happening with New Balance. They promote the shoe in a subtle way showcasing the personality's lifestyle and the shoe he prefers. It shows balance(no pun intended).
