Dear New Balance Numeric,
I love the logic behind the names of your shoes. Higher number = more tech and if it goes beyond 400 = cupsole.
What's the deal with 288 in that case?
I can't sleep at night because of this
Yours sincerely
I.
Franky's shoe is the 417 and a vulc
Yup but the lowest NB# cup is the 425 if I'm not mistaken so all good 👍
it was the 288s, but now it should be the 420 technically
I meant currently. 420 are not always "in there".
Speaking of the 420, those should be hitting shops soon, if not today. Anyone know what the colorway is?
And before the 288s, the original 288 took that spot before they finalized the vulc/cup number break line.
Interestingly enough, some of the earlier models had real names before NM# took off with the naming convention. Quite a few were vulc and probably in the 200-300 range unofficially. Some early examples i can recall:
Brighton (#? Probably 200s)
Quincy (254 and later 255)
Logan (606 ?)
Stratton (533 - PJ'S shoe)
