When you’re grilling burgers, downing beers, and setting off illegal fireworks this Independence Day, make sure your outfit fits the occasion. We’re not talking about a lager-soaked and mustard-stained tee, we mean with these new sneakers from New Balance and J.Crew. Celebrating American craftsmanship, the 998 Independence Day sneakers come clad in red, white, and blue, and will be pre-launched at three stores on June 14 where the first 20 customers will also receive an Ebbets Field Flannels cap. If you aren’t trying to make a trip to NYC, LA, or Hong Kong, they will be available on J.Crew’s site starting June 18.
