" It&amp;#039;s no secret that J. Crew has a thing for New Balance. And who can blame them? The brand\u2014which was founded in 1906 as New Balance Arch Support Company\u2014represents many of the things that the retailer has come to known for: quality, comfort, and style, being the first three that come to mind. But their latest collaboration\u2014a joint effort on NB&amp;#039;s classic 998 style\u2014has some special significance. Named the Independence Day Sneakers, the unique design is heavy on a patriotic color scheme of red, white, and blue. But more importantly, the sneaker was made, by-hand, at New Balance&amp;#039;s factory in Maine. No better way to show you love America than to support it&amp;#039;s businesses.  Unfortunately for buyers, the shoe sold out almost instantly online. But that doesn&amp;#039;t mean you can&amp;#039;t go out searching stores for a stray pair that&amp;#039;s in your size. Learn more about the shoe, here.   "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
