Is New Balance still considered a luxury brand?

Back in my day, it was all about boomers wearing heavily grass-stained white New Balances.

Are they still considered the luxury brand today that they were back then?

It's about as luxurious as your dad going to Walmart to buy new balances

New Balance was never a luxury brand they were affordable.
When I was into the underground hip hop scene in the early 2000s and subscribing to URB and going to local shows here in the LBC, I used to rock New Balance shoes with Triple 5 soul etc


I think im going to buy some again cause the ones I used to wear were very comfortable

Chunky white dad sneakers have ironically come into fashion now. You see alot of 20 something's wear them now, guys and girls.

Nike Monarchs are still cringe, but it's funny because I remember when New Balance was seen as ugly shoes for brokies.

Kawhi drove the price up a bit when he signed with them a few years ago, but he’s an injuriycel so people forget about him and consequently the shoes.

They’re the staple of a white, suburban dad for lawn work. Not sure they were ever considered high end.

I think they just rebranded by having them sold in places like Nordstroms. Most highfashiontrends filters downward.
