It’s no secret that New Balance and J.Crew have a long-standing, near universally loved rapport. The iconic American  retailer has just taken stock of the New Balance 1400 in yet another new colorway for Spring/Summer 2013. A classic in its own right, this special “Chambray Blue” edition no doubt draws some influence from J.Crew’s heritage, utilitarian aesthetics and, similarly, the shoe’s potential sartorial ubiquity is undeniable. Each pair of this release is crafted at New Balance’s facilities in Skowhegan, Maine, and are now available on J.Crew’s web shop.
