Walsh Trainers.

Trainers are an item that we hold in high regard here at Northern Aficionado and when we came across Walsh we instantly took a liking them. Based in Bolton and still making trainers in Lancashire today they have released some excellent models this year, including the Lostock and the Cobra. There's an excellent interview with the people at Walsh in our next issue.

A pair of their Lostock trainers is even on a new tee by Closerthanmost which you can purchase over at the CTM website. http://closerthanmost.bigcartel.com/product/allnighter

New Balance 670.

First and foremost, apologies for the lack of content posted on the blog lately, we've been really busy with the latest issue that we've just not had the time to post on here, but we're back now and the latest issue is only weeks away. Finally!

New Balance have become a firm favourite here at Northern Aficionado over the last few years with both of us owning a least a couple of pairs. I've owned a number of the models, the 574, 576, 577, 410 but recently I purchased the 670. Opting for the Navy colourway due to its versatility the 670 is made in New Balance's Flimby factory and is a classic. A trainer that not only looks good, but feels good too.
