Nine New Balance shoes that will leave you feeling extremely jealous
Trayvon Bromell, an up and coming star in U.S. track, just finished posting 100 shoes in 100 days. We count down nine of our favourites.
American sprinter Trayvon Bromell wasted no time in testing out as many New Balance shoes as he could following his contract signing in October. The 20-year-old just finished posting 100 New Balance shoes over the span of 100 days.
Some of Bromell’s shoes were custom-designed while others are available in more generic colourways.
Not only does Bromell have good taste in shoes, he is also one of the few sprinters that occasionally wears split shorts in competition, which will surely earn him attention among the distance crowd.
The former Baylor University athlete lives and trains in Waco, Texas. He won a bronze medal at the 2015 IAAF World Championships in the 100m finishing in a tie with Canadian Andre De Grasse.

And since Bromell’s lifetime best in the 100m is 9.84, we figured it was appropriate to count down our nine favourite designs from his ‘100 shoes in 100 days’ series on Instagram.

Anything with a limited edition tag basically makes us jealous.

2. NB 996s
The retro look is back in style and no NB shoe embodies that more than the NB 996.

Not only was this the final shoe in Trayvon Bromell’s 100-day streak, it’s the first high-performance running shoe to feature a 3-D printed midsole.
