New Balance this week teamed with popular educational program Sesame Street for a co-branded collection of children's shoes that will debut in July.

The athletic footwear and apparel company will launch the collection across major retailers including Finish Line, Foot Locker, Hibbett Sports and others, in addition to its own stores.

With a premium price point—$43 for infant styles, $65 for grade school styles—the shoes will be backed by a national campaign that includes TV spots during Sesame Street, which airs three times a day in most major U.S. markets.

What's this?

Who's leading the conversation?

This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.
