Boston boutique Concepts has gotten together with New Balance to create a shoe for one of the most iconic presidents ever. These New Balance 'The Kennedy' kicks pay tribute to JFK and his love for New England sailing.
These New Balance 'The Kennedy' kicks have an expected red, white and blue colorway with a little bit of tan on the heel and toe panel for good measure. Despite being dead for almost 50 years, JFK is still revered and remembered throughout the United States. It wouldn't surprise me at all if these shoes became a huge hit.
