The big murder trial that's been obsessing Bostonians has ended with a guilty verdict. No, you're not having déjà vu. Wednesday's jury decision came in the case of Aaron Hernandez, the former New England Patriots star tight end.

New Balance‘s guitar inspiration is one of the more surprising developments in the Bostonian running brand’s recent Spring/Summer 2015 campaign. You would never know the rock and roll inspiration by looking at a pair like the above pictured New Balance 996 given the tonal suede qualities without getting a first glimpse at the unique guitar pick, but we’re not complaining. Here we see the Connoisseur Collection continue with a tonal navy blue hit with a dash of reflective 3M detailing for good measure. The last time we saw this silhouette was another Continue reading >>>

BOSTON — Ian Desmond woke up Tuesday just as he woke up Monday, just as he has woken up every morning of this young season, with one clear thought in his head: “This will be the day.” No more errors. Maybe a couple of hits, a couple runs driven in, a win. A comfortable, routine day as a big league shortstop at the height of his athletic career.

It was about 2 p.m. when we decided to head out early to move our car before traffic got wicked bad. About 49 minutes later, we were on the Continue reading >>>
