I see IM seemingly joining forces with a (tennis) shoe company, New Balance. I find this to be humorous since he wears nike all the time on tv. Wonder why he'd pair up with a tennis shoe company, and why this one.

My guess, 💰💰💰💰, I’m a New Balance fan however.

I find it odd how they are "imported".....you know what that means.  New Balance used to be made in the USA, what's up with that???!!!

Why this one? Seems obvious to me. They must have made him a $$$ offer. Like so many others he'll put his name on just about any old thing as long as it means cash in his wallet.

Should be good news. 75% are made in the U.S.A., 25% in England.

@QVCkitty1  i am a retired nurse, but when I was working I always wore New Balance sneakers.  I have noticed with my feet anyway that the toe box on the sneakers seem more narrow and less room.  I still feel they are a good well made shoe though.

I worked in the OR. for my whole career and after trying many different shoes, New .Balance were by far the best on those unforgiving hard floors.

Have to wonder if function has been replaced with fashion.

If 75% are made in the US why is that considered an "import"????

If that's true it should be noted in the product description, somehow I'm not buying into that.
