On the shoe front, New Balance initially launched the 890 branded as the Barringer and the Baddeley (for Jenny and Andy), and featured them in promos. Considering the sheer force of their women’s contingent this year, might be time to bring the naming system back. Some Purriers? Count me in.

Totally forgot about the Barringer! The numbered shoes are very forgettable names so definitely with you on the Purriers

I think the name may have been dropped when they standardized the number system, which is agreeably boring but at least if you know the system you know what kind of shoe any shoe is? Seems they could do both tho!
