The New Balance BB80 is an excellent choice for daily casual wear, light urban exploration, and social gatherings. Its durable rubber outsole provides reliable grip on most dry, paved surfaces, making it well-suited for walking, running errands, or simply complementing a relaxed outfit. The classic basketball-inspired design means it pairs effortlessly with a wide array of casual attire, including jeans, shorts, and athleisure wear. To get the most out of your BB80s, ensure they are laced comfortably, providing a snug but not overly tight fit. While their aesthetic is rooted in sport, these shoes are best enjoyed for their style and comfort in non-intensive activities, allowing you to move confidently through your day.
Setup: Upon receiving your New Balance BB80, gently unlace the shoes. Insert your foot, ensuring your heel is comfortably seated at the back of the shoe. Lace them up, starting from the lowest eyelets, and tighten evenly until the shoe feels secure but not restrictive. There should be a small gap (about a thumb's width) between your longest toe and the end of the shoe for optimal comfort and movement.
Compatibility: These sneakers are highly compatible with a wide range of casual attire, including jeans, chinos, shorts, and casual dresses or skirts. They are suitable for everyday walking, urban commuting, and light recreational activities. Their versatile design makes them a great match for athleisure wear, providing a relaxed, sporty aesthetic.
Care:
Cleaning: For the white upper, gently wipe away dirt and surface stains with a soft, damp cloth and a small amount of mild, non-abrasive soap. For tougher marks or discoloration, a specialized sneaker cleaner designed for white materials can be used. The durable rubber outsole can be cleaned with a stiff brush and soapy water. Always avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning tools that could damage the material.
Drying: After cleaning, always air dry your shoes. Place them in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, which can cause material damage, shrinkage, or yellowing of white components. You can stuff the shoes with paper towels to help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
Storage: Store your BB80s in a cool, dry place, away from extreme temperatures or humidity. Keeping them in their original box or a breathable shoe bag can help protect them from dust and dirt, maintaining their pristine white look and extending their lifespan.
