The Rise of New Balance Sneakers in Streetwear Culture – And Where to Get Yours Now Once seen as the go-to sneaker for dads and marathon runners, New Balance has undergone one of the most impressive reinventions in footwear history. Today, the brand is a dominant force in streetwear, embraced by fashion icons, hip-hop artists, athletes, and sneakerheads alike.
From the runways of Paris to the sidewalks of Washington, DC, New Balance has become synonymous with understated cool, premium materials, and unbeatable comfort. At DMV Shoes, you’ll find the largest curated selection of New Balance shoes—on sale for 25% off, with same-day delivery in the DMV and free worldwide shipping.
Let’s break down how New Balance earned its place in sneaker culture and how DMV Shoes can hook you up with your next pair.

From Function to Fashion: A Brief History of New BalanceFounded in 1906, New Balance built its reputation on precision-fit athletic shoes. Throughout the 20th century, the brand became a favorite among runners, orthopedic professionals, and fitness fanatics.
But something interesting happened in the early 2000s--New Balance started appearing on the feet of cultural tastemakers. Skaters, indie kids, and fashion insiders embraced its minimal design, comfort, and nostalgic feel. Fast forward to today, and New Balance is one of the most coveted names in sneakers.

Collabs That Changed the GamePart of New Balance’s surge in popularity can be credited to their high-profile collaborations with artists, designers, and global brands:

• Joe Freshgoods x New Balance 990v3 & 993: These vibrant, story-driven drops gave New Balance major cultural relevance.
• Aimé Leon Dore x New Balance 550: A revival of a classic court sneaker, now a must-have fashion item.
• Jaden Smith x New Balance Vision Racer: Sustainable, bold, and futuristic, pushing the envelope of design.
• Kawhi Leonard Signature Line: Bridging sports and lifestyle with bold, technical performance.

These collaborations aren’t just hype—they’ve helped solidify New Balance as a staple in the modern sneaker world.
