The DC New Balance Mystic. . . ??

For about as long as I can remember, New Balance has been the unofficial designated shoe for the city of Washington, DC for about 25 years. Just like any and every American city, there is always a popularized shoe or certain type of fashion that is sported by the majority of city. For Washington, DC, New Balance has been the sole provider for the signature District shoe. For DC it happens to be a special and rare opportunity, that the District happens to be the only city in America that casually sports New Balance as a city wide fashion fad. For many cities like New York, Detroit, Chicago, Atlanta, and all of the other major metropolitan cities; shoes like the Nike Air Force One are very common. 

From the information that I have gathered from native Washingtonians, DC has always had it's on style for as long as they could remember. There is something about Washington, DC that sets apart from every other city in America. To be a city with a little over a half of a million citizens, DC has a very distinct uniqueness that other cities lack.
