2/2 now have tracking. I’d assume you should either have yours, or should be soon. If not, NBs are for old people anyway…. You don’t need em.

When did New Balance get the old man stigma? I don't remember it in the 90s

I think it’s common to see older folks wearing NBs. I see it all the time, especially the newer 990s, or not so popular running models.

My daughter is in high school and constantly tells me NB is for old people. 
I don’t really see anybody wear NBs at her school other than 550s. She did let me get her a pair of grey 990v6 which she liked. So maybe it’s slowly appealing to younger people.

Step out feeling fly in a clean pair of 99x, only to see a 65+ y/o rockin the same exact pair out somewhere gettin dat senior citizen discount.

So it did have a little moment in the 80s and 90s in different sects. I'm guessing states along the Atlantic coast rocked with New Balance.
How were they seen in the UK and Japan? Was the old man stigma in those places, too?

I feel like more urban areas tend to fw with NBs. I’ve always seen 574s rocked casually growing up, and the only time I’ve heard them referenced as “old people shoes” is when referring to the leather pairs with navy trim (similar looking to Nike Monarchs).
From a performance standpoint, I’ve always known NB to do the damn job and people often respected the quality.
