New Balance Will & Kate Royal Competition Lets You Rock Royalty Footwear

With a fridge, condoms and shirts already made, it was only a matter of time before shoes were next in line to celebrate the royal wedding. Now you have the chance to wear some by entering the New Balance Will and Kate Royal Competition.

For those who are jumping at the chance to receive their own pair, there is a catch. The New Balance Will and Kate Royal Competition only allows couples with the same names as the couple OR any derivative of the name to enter. They then upload their pictures to the New Balance UK Facebook page and they'll be in the running to win. There are 10 pairs only. So, to all the Williams, Wills, Kat and Catherine's out there who are together, act fast to receive your very own sneakers with your names imprinted on it.
