Sneakers..

Anyone has pics of their favorite sneakers of a particular brands of sneakers which you adore? I purchased my first pair of New Balance 362 model about 3 years ago and has since retired it after being worn out.  Purchased another pair of 365 Classics and loving it.  I sometimes wear my Timberland loafers but somehow feel heavy and most of the time i wear my moulded rubber Crocs.  Found some interesting facts about New Balance, a company founded in 1906, a year after Rolex was founded in 1905. New Balance is still producing shoes today and i find their lifestyle casual shoes interesting.  They produce their shoes using numbers from 2 to 4 digit numbers, and I like the 3 series and 5 series in particular the 574 series lifestyle range.  Some of their shoes have become collectibles and are produced in limited editions. Some designs originate from Japan such as the 365 classics introduced in 2009 and designed in Japan.  Todate, some of their range are still produced in the US and UK, and command a more premium price.  Are sneakers like watches? Or are New Balance like Rolex using numbers to categorised its range and model.  What sneaker brands make you tick? I think i will stick to New Balance for a while.  When I was younger I used to walk into sneaker shops just to look at the design, colors which I found fascinating.  I recently bought this over the more notable brands because I find them unique.  Here's a pic of my current favorite now.  Their shoes or different designs are available in different places and what i get here may not be available elsewhere and vice versa.  Isnt that cool..  Please share pics of your Sneakers and with a few words of course.  I hope this can get interesting.  Sneakers are like watches too, designs, some modern some timeless, technology, materials, names, codes and series and history.  Another of man's accessories..
