I was talking to a photographer friend of mine about my favorite pocket camera, a Kodak Z1085 IS — his response — did you buy two? It never occurred to me.

What do cameras have to do with sneakers? When you find something you like and the manufacturer stops making that model — how do you find another ?

Here at A Perfect Dealer we appreciate how much time and effort went into finding the perfect pair of sneakers. When New Balance no longer produces your favorite model we probably still have a pair. In some cases the demand for a discontinued model has been so high that we have requested a production run for our customers.

Sign-up for the newsletter and we'll let you know when New Balance introduces a new version of a current model so you can get your hands on another pair while your size is still available or be the first to lace up the latest version of an old favorite.

Delight in the video below where Terry Heckler, the designer of the 'N' logo which turns 40 this year, sports the recent update to the 990v3 — the 990v4. Heckler also explains the significance of Model Numbers.
