Newbie 999s are FaF
SOUTH CAROLINA—Despite president John F. Kennedy’s unfortunate political views, his lifestyle is deserving of the highest degree of respect. Inspired by JFK’s love for sailing, Boston-based New Balance created the New Balance 999 “The Kennedy”.
The new shoe contains an attractive selection of multi-colored suede and a nautical flag tongue. While a bit louder than the traditional 993s, The Kennedy will make an excellent addition to any high-class wardrobe.
The New Balance 999s will be available for purchase this March 2011, just in time for sailing season (unless your Dad can get them sooner).
Think I’ll stick to my cole hanns (too many geeds have sperrys now) and 993’s… these two cover any situation a frat star should stumble into. JFK was more conservative than most repub’s today, but these shoes are still NF.
Just buy some 993’s and be done with it

14 years ago at 2:44 amCole Hanns are GDI as fuck
14 years ago at 3:12 pmWhat are ya’ll GDI’s talking about? Cole Hanns go up there with Johnson & Murphy.

14 years ago at 10:28 amMaybe, just MAYBE as a shoe to wear to the gym or run in… but no way would I wear these to class or bars. Then again I don’t wear tennis shoes anyways so if someone can pull em off more power to ya.
These columns just feel like ads to me… Looks like TFM is going the way of Frattinghard and just posting stuff for the revenue.
14 years ago at 11:27 amI agree, frattinghard was a great website until Coast basically owned it. Now TFM is going down the same road. If the owners were FaF they would understand that they could make a lot more down the road if they continue with a great product rather than sell out at the first glimpse of some money. On the other hand if the columns are written properly they could make the site way better….you’re move TFM
14 years ago at 1:38 pmyour* move… dumbass
14 years ago at 3:08 pmFollow the facebook model. Wait until you are big enough to sell out.
14 years ago at 4:38 pmThese are definitely not a running shoe or gym shoe. Look at the materials – way too heavy and not breathable, therefore terrible for running.
They look more like a gangster basketball shoe than anything respectable.
14 years ago at 6:04 pmNF. A pair of shoes should never look this gay. I’ll continue to have just one pair of sneakers and stick with the 993’s.
14 years ago at 12:11 pmI don’t understand how people can say these shoes are FaF. I disagree completely, these are fucking geed for sure.

14 years ago at 12:41 pmHanging out and boating with the Kennedys at their compound in Hyannisport. TFM.
14 years ago at 1:41 pmFaF – These will be useful while sitting on the porch or during a round of campus golf.
14 years ago at 3:43 pmNew Balances for golf?
14 years ago at 3:45 pm“campus golf”, not the course.
14 years ago at 3:50 pmI would never wear these, they are fucking hideous.
14 years ago at 5:23 pmMy 12 year old cousin saw these and responded “Not Frat”
14 years ago at 8:47 pmwhat does a 12 year old know?
14 years ago at 9:15 pmgood question.
14 years ago at 1:50 pmPersonally, they look comfy and they’re red, white and blue. How’s that not fratty? and JFK was actually a respectable president, that should come as common sense.
14 years ago at 9:18 pmsecond
14 years ago at 2:54 pmI’ll third these ladie’s respectable opinion
