New Balance 990 ‘Made in USA’ for President Obama

New Balance 990 'Made in USA' for President Obama-01
After receiving Jordan Spiz’ikes from Spike Lee earlier this year, United States President Obama is set to receive another pair of sneakers, this time custom American made New Balance 990s, courtesy of Maine Representative Michael Michaud.

Embellished with ‘President Obama’ stitching around the heel, the classically grey suede and mesh NB sneakers come as a gift supporting recent legislation to outfit US soldiers with American-made footwear, which would both provide the troops with superior sneakers and create more jobs in the state of Maine.

President Obama Releases 28-Song Official Campaign Spotify Playlist

President Obama Releases 28-Song Official Campaign Spotify Playlist

Ever wonder what the president listens to on Air Force One to get amped up before a big rally? What kind of lyrical message would he and his team of strategists use to inspire momentum for their re-election campaign? President Obama has often coyly referenced enjoying certain musical genres during his tenure in office, but has never really offered anything so comprehensive, until now, with the release of his official campaign Spotify playlist. Granted, you won’t find any vintage 90′s era tracks by the Presidents of the United States of America, but you will find an eclectic mix featuring some very current indie bands like Arcade Fire, Florence and the Machine, Wilco, and Ray LaMontagne, a few country tracks from Sugarland and Darius Rucker, and even a few classics by James Taylor, REO Speedwagon and Bruce Springsteen. Noticeably absent from the well-curated playlist was Jay-Z and Kanye West’s “N****s In Paris.” Click here to open the Spotify playlist, and groove along with the Commander-in-Chief himself.

You may recall seeing the Clarissa Jacquard Dress on one of our shopping guides a couple days back… this gorgeous purple and silver frock gets our vote.
