High Velocity

When it comes to my shoe collection, I take things very seriously. I have heels and flats of every shape, size and designer; open toed, close toed, pumps, platforms, wedges- you name it, I have it! However, when it comes to sneakers my shoe wardrobe is sorely lacking. I took a survey this morning and could only find a couple pairs of raggedly sneakers that I couldn’t even figure out the origins of. Needless to say, I definitely don’t feel cool when going to the gym and would never even consider wearing them on the streets.

So I was super excited to learn about (and score a pair of ) the new Velocity 773 Collection from New Balance- a new line of fashion forward sneakers that I could wear to see my personal trainer or my best friend for brunch. I love the sleek look and lightweight feel. It’s a lifestyle shoe through and through- so not recommended for heavy athletics- but this stylish pair certainly packs a good amount of technology from New Balance. The inspiration for the 773 is the New Balance 607, a high performance shoe used by sprinters and hurdlers, and uses a lot of the same design concepts as the original. My favorite color combo in the 773 Velocity Collection is the classic silver and pink – a look that would match well with skinny jeans, leggings or a denim mini in the summer. Cute!!

The Velocity 773 is avaliable on NewBalance.com for $64.99.
