New Balance comes and goes with particularly cool stuff, but I think they're generally pretty nice if you're not picking up the stuff marketed at middle aged moms. The 996 for J. Crew this year has a beautiful colourway.

Something about the grey in the outsole feels slightly off to me, might just be the photography though.
They also have a beautiful "Flying the Flag" CT300 coming out too (all of the ct300s are fucking great though.)

The colours are so rich you can taste them.
