The classic New Balance 320 running sneakers are back! Targeted at consumers who prefer a “real” authentic style which is unique, the 320 range reflects sophisticated personal taste.

The 320 made its original debut in 1976 at a time when running for fitness was gaining popularity, and jogging was becoming part of the American Culture. In October the same year, the 320 was rated number one running shoe by Runner’s World, with “fit” and “comfort” touted as its strongest selling points. This resulted in the 320 gaining unprecedented fame and New Balance being catapulted to the forefront of modern athletic shoe design.

The legendary 320 will make its debut in Singapore as part of New Balance’s renowned classics collection this April. With its rich heritage, the 320 embodies both fashion elements as well as elements of the music culture which were the trend in America during at that time. Just like it did thirty years ago, it is set to be the trendsetter for a long time to come.

“Koinobori, (鯉幟, こいのぼり) are carp-shaped flags traditionally flown in Japan to celebrate Children’s Day. Traditionally, the Japanese associate carp with boys because of the strength associated with carp that swim upstream. These flags are made by drawing carp patterns on paper, cloth or other nonwoven fabric. They are then allowed to flutter in the wind. They are also known as satsuki-nobori (皐幟, さつきのぼり).” - wikipedia
