This was 2016 (after my Singapore/Malaysia trips), when I said Asian women only wore New Balance. I picked up my first New Balance in 2020.

I remember Dermo posting the Made in England, might have been the first on here. Credit where credit is due, Dermo.

    I also distinctly remember Dave agreeing, with some weird ass explanation about NB meaning something in Chinese… made no sense.

      rhouses It means ’the cow’s cunt’, which is the Chinese equivalent of ’the dog’s bollocks’

        bosstrabs Either way, that was no explanation for why Asian women are inclined to wear New Balance.

          bosstrabs Made in England isn’t a single trab, it’s a long-running range of NB trabs.

          Dolt.

          Madly enough last night the factory prog with Gregg ’I’m a massive fucking cunt’ Wallace was on TV here last night and he was in the UK factory up in the Lake District. Said they made 3500 pairs of trabs a day there! All hand made with the aid of machines. Was pretty impressive.

            bosstrabs thanks for that Dave. Fucking hell. Hugo territory.

            Can’t remember what it was, but Dermo did leave a seed on the Made collections.

              Cankles-McJeggings That’s pretty much what had me sold. Lots of love and care that goes into it, with the quality of materials being top notch and mostly local. The workers in the factory are 60-70, doing it for years.

              Made In US equally good too. Got into a bit of trouble, convinced a Muslim friend to get the 990v5 and turns out that’s pig’s leather too. The guy eats bacon and pepperoni like it’s going out of fashion, but his wife was so pissed she threw them on the driveway reversed the car over them.

              rhouses Can’t remember what it was, but Dermo did leave a seed on the Made collections.

              Does he put a photo of Owen Jones on them first as well?

              Decent bantz from Hugo tbf.

              Derm, what are those Skechers like that Jamie Redknapp is advertising?
