Release Predictions
According to the Jimmy Jazz website, these are “Jimmy Jazz exclusives”, which suggests that stock-levels for this shoe will be considerably less that what we’re accustomed to seeing from most New Balance products.
Although there isn’t much hype associated with this shoe’s release, you can expect sizes to sellout rather quickly due to the limited availability of this shoe.
If you’ve been paying attention to New Balance lately, you’ve probably noticed that the brand has been picking up momentum. New Balance has always had its loyal supporters, but it’s clear that more sneaker lovers are taking notice to what this heritage brand has been cooking up lately.
With that being said, don’t sleep if you’re interested in copping a pair for yourself.
