Gordon Hayward getting strong interest from New Balance - needs to be cautious

Apparently, New Balance is considering re-launching its basketball category, and the shoe company may be focusing on the Celtics Gordon Hayward.

Let me start by stating that I have nothing against New Balance, and I wore their shoes for many years. But I stopped wearing them, and there was a reason - a mighty narrow one, admittedly.

Look at the next few old men (of which I am one) you see on the street or in the mall. Two out of three will be wearing white, low-cut New Balance sneakers that look 2-3 sizes too big.
