Should You Buy the New Balance Maxey V1 'Red Rock'?
At $129.99, the Maxey V1 offers promising performance technology at a competitive price, although some buyers of the debut colorway report a snug fit.
November is loaded with Air Jordan releases, including the 'Space Jam' collection and two returning OG classics .
