New Balance has been making huge waves recently! With countless hype collaborations alongside a steady stream of general release trainers, we had to include New Balance on this list. Timeless designs such as the 990 sit alongside newcomers such as the 327 and 57/40 to give you a wide selection when you're picking up your next trainer this summer.

Probably the most expensive selection on this list, we thought that the New Balance Made in US 990v5 "Grey" still deserved a spot simply due to its insanely high quality materials that last for many years to come. This means you won't have to another summer sneaker this time next year.

The New Balance 990 is the brand's flagship model and has been the base of a number of hyped collabs in 2022. Packed full of technology to give you all-day comfort, these are definitely a pair I'd be reaching for when I'm packing for a long weekend away.
