New Balance KJ 745 and KJ766NG

New Balance® KJ 745 NB Grade School. Alex is pretty picky about the shoes that he wears. The New Balance's fit well, so here they are. _As an aside, this is the first time that froogle has found something really valuable. So they are getting better.

They are also up on pricegrabber although the stock is thin and it goes for $65 list.

Zappos does seem to have them for $65

Zappos also has these. The offical model number by the way is KJ 745 Youth.
