Newbie 999s are FaF
14 years ago

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).

    These shoes are NF. If you think they are fraty then you need to go to a southern college and learn how to frat.

    I love JFK, but these are disrespectful to him. They’re def NF, and I feel like GDIs wouldn’t even like them. So sad!

    I am going to go out on a limb and say that, with a few exceptions (Ed Hardy, Affliction, cargo shorts, etc.), how you wear what you wear contributes a great deal more to your frattiness than what exact model of a certain brand’s product you are wearing. Will I wear these? No. Do they deserve to be classified as GDI… eh, probably not. In the end, they’re a damn pair of shoes.

    These shoes are geriatric…they might as well have velcro straps instead of shoe strings. Ew.

    I could see some late 80s-early 90s fratters rockin’ these. May not be the most conservative of items to put in your fratdrobe, but hey, neither are crazy-colored Brooks Brothers pants or wacky Hawaiian shirts, which are both arguably Fratty.
