J. Crew x New Balance 1400

J. Crew is known for collaborating with a plethora of brands.  I have experienced their collaboration with Levi’s and it was a smash hit.  I wasn’t sure how I was going to feel about New Balance’s collab, because sometimes shoe collabs can go wrong. Not in this case.  The newest crop of New Balance 1400’s have hit J. Crew and they are perfect for that store.  The 1400 is a straight forward, no frills retro shoe; which goes great with Americana style.  It’s not as bulky as the 574, but maintains that retro feel.  They come in 5 colors; raw steel, pine green, navy, black and rustic orange. So far my favorite is the raw steel and black. What do you think of the J. Crew x New Balance collaboration?  The rest of the pics after the break.
