Sort of a TAAT but I keep reading that the cool stylish mums are wearing NEw Balance trainers at the moment but when I go online to look I can't work out which style they must be buying! Can someone link to the most 'in' New Balance of the moment pls?

These style in any colour are popular at the moment.

Jeez. They are hideous imo Confused

Faffandahalf · 30/12/2021 17:34

I thought it was the multicoulored colour way NB that were the ‘cool’ choice (seriously who decides this?)

RussianSpy101 · 30/12/2021 17:35

The zebra ones I posted a photo of are incredibly hard to get. Some sell them on eBay for 180+

Journeynotdestination · 30/12/2021 17:46

What is the model name of these please? The link doesn’t work

Fuckitydoodah · 30/12/2021 17:48

I think it's this style

I usually like New Balance and have a couple of pairs already, but I'm not sure I'm keen on the chunky angled heel on these

Whatever is stocked on net-a-porter and Matches.

bigbeachedwales · 30/12/2021 17:51

I like those! And the office ones. What are the brighter ones though? It's a fashion minefield!!

snapsieplopp · 30/12/2021 18:01

yeah the platform ones are popular but they are a bit Sketchers like for me. I stick with the 574s

What NB model has Frugality got on? I like them, they are comfy straight out of the box, no rubbing, might need to half size up in them. Most NB’s look good, just get any pair you like, loads on sale now, I like the 373 lower profile, looks good with lots of outfits even trousers.
LivingDeadGirlUK · 30/12/2021 18:25

I've only got NB for running shoes and they are really comfy but I do have to size up a size in them!

Journeynotdestination · 30/12/2021 22:28

I just snagged some 327’s from New Balance website with 15% off! Here’s the code NBGIFT4YOU

Rainbowshit · 30/12/2021 22:29

Definitely size up.

nanbread · 30/12/2021 22:45

I've got 327s. They look great in some colourways but not so great in others IMO. They are a bit weird looking but I wanted something that was obviously not a Veja / Stan Smith.

Faffandahalf · 01/01/2022 13:40

What’s wrong with Veja/Stan Smith?

Is this going to be more ‘they are mum trainers’

I think you’re right though. Some colour ways look ok but some are really really fugly. I know the whole ‘normcore’ ugly fashion look is a thing but surely that is only worn ironically for model esque ppl while the rest of us just look well…normal.

Anyway good to know what is ‘in’!

(Still can’t beat Stans though)

gilorga · 01/01/2022 13:51

trainer styles go in & out of being the key ones. Stans & Vejas have had their time & will undoubtedly again. It's fine to still wear them, they just are the trainers of the moment.

Nothing wrong with them, I have pairs of both, just wanted something that looked different rather then more of the same!

are not

Mollysocks · 01/01/2022 14:00

I like these but I’m not cool 🤣

gilorga · 01/01/2022 14:02

They are the cool ones apparently

Faffandahalf · 01/01/2022 14:04
