Apparently there was enough support for New Balance to do this. This has to say something for the comfort and quality of the shoe.
I've heard mixed feelings about the look of the shoe from internet umpires, but my opinion is if they are anywhere near as comfortable as their base shoes, they're worth a try. I've already got my order for a pair pending while waiting for the March release date.

Will these be available in wide widths? Are these patent leather?
Anaconda sports.com is selling this shoe for 89.95 but not until March 06

I think the NB shoes are in a leather called High Shine, which is supposed to clean up real nice and buff to a high gloss.
