The funny thing is, New Balance is actually kind of a hot brand again now. It's not just the shoes that your dad wears. I noticed the other day that a lot of professional athletes are moving to them. I recently bought some Nike Air Maxx (at a big discount) and they are some of the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned. I tend to prefer the cheaper pop culture shirts that Old Navy carries. Two for $10 and all of that. Sure, they might have like a classic Mt. Dew logo on them or something, but I think that is a little more acceptable. I do have a shirt from a distillery called Michter's that I visited. It's more of a souvenir thing when I wear it versus hunting for social status.

That's good to hear about NB. Those have been my favorite shoes since the one day at Shoe Carnival years ago when I saw a "wide size" shoe that was on special. I have 2 pairs of NB's outside my apartment door right now and they are the most difficult shoes to come by in Vietnam since although a lot of their shoes are manufactured in this country they only have ONE retail outlet in the entire country and as you would expect they don't carry large western sizes.
Ah, good old shoe carnival! I remember that store well! I wish they made them easier to get for you.
Is it still around that store? I loved it even though I never got to go into the money vacuum.
I'm not sure. Maybe in a mall here or there, but I can't tell you the last time I was in an actual mall!
