Girlie '90s Kicks

The X-Girl New Balance Shoes Make Ladies Shoes Awesome

— March 25, 2010 — Fashion
Originally released in 1991, the X-Girl New Balance shoe was perhaps not a great hit with all, but I am sure that its re-release, due April 24th, will make the waves the old should have.

Featuring a bright pink upper, with a mesh toe and patterned liner, the X-Girl New Balance is definitely the kind of shoe for the discerning lady. Plus, who can turn down something that is both comfortable and bright pink?
