New Balance Boro Pack: Kicks with a Stitch of Sneaker History!

New Balance is revealing some exciting news for sneaker enthusiasts with the upcoming Boro Pack set to hit shelves this November. Renowned for pioneering the “Dad Shoe” trend, the Boston-based brand is taking a deep dive into history by infusing the ancient Boro stitching technique into its iconic 550 and 580 models.
