One of my favorite pair of New Balances would definitely have to be the New Balance 580 and this year they are celebrating 20 years! The New Balance brand had been around since 1906 and throughout the years they have introduced many different models but the 580 model was originally released as a Japan-exclusive sneaker.
Below are a few of the color waves of the New Balance 580! These shoes are stylish as well as comfortable!

KD 7 Aunt Pearl ….. One of my FAVORITE releases of 2015!
Kevin Durant and Nike teamed up to create this shoe in honor of his late Aunt Pearl. Durant’s shoe releases are usually often related to stories of his childhood and upbringing, but this release is probably one of the most heartwarming. Kevin Durant’s Aunt Pearl passed away in 2011 from Lung Cancer and since then Kevin has done what he can to pay tribute to her. The color of the shoe is white which is the official color for Lung Cancer Awareness and proceeds from the shoe went to the Kay Yow Cancer Fund.
Features:
Angel wing strap over the laces
Gold and pink accents
Kay Yow Cancer Fund logo on the back of the heel

Rihanna’s Creepers have been a hot topic ever sense she collaborated with puma and released the first color wave. The thick sole of the shoe is inspired by the creeper silhouette and this sneaker was the first one designed by the talented Rihanna! The Creepers were named shoe of the year by Footwear News and literally, everytime a new color wave is released or an existing one is re released they sell out in NO TIME!

Th Air Jordan 13 Black Cat is insipred by the Black Panther. The outsole is meant to represent a Panthers paw and the hologram on the shoe is meant to represent the color of the animals eye.
