As long-time lovers of the brand, we have a lot of opinions about the best New Balance sneakers. While once defined by a recognizable bulky form, modern styles from New Balance have shifted to that of the ultra-sleek. Think: ballet sneakers , mules, and taekwondo shoes —thanks in part to collaborations with ultra-cool brands and athletes like Ganni, Miu Miu, and Coco Gauff . With no shortage of iterations to choose from, we decided to round up our favorites.
