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!
