Blue box means the design actually is from USA,only when a USA label is print on this box,then it is made in usa.

my pair came with a brown box.

so blue box means the design is from US but made elsewhere? correct?

do some googling on colour matching.

it also boils down to the colour of your top as well.

black is a safe colour as jeans are usually dark.

white is safe but like you mentioned it gets dirty easily, but I still own 1 or 2 white shoes for matching purpose.

grey, dark brown or brown in general is also easy to match.

blue is quite safe, those dark blue

red depends on the shade of it

imo, stay away from yellow, neon, orange, silver base shoes. small details or secondary tones in those colours are still ok. unless you can pull them off

Brown box normally design is from UK but this 1 does not have a UK print even if it made in uk,have to see the inside print on the sneaker tougue,can be made in uk or asia like china/vietnam.
Blue box also the same,can be made in asia etc china/vietnam.
But if the blue box comes with a USA flag print,then it is made in usa.

Let me help out with the colour of the boxes and meaning. Initially, all nb shoes come in red boxes. But to differentiate lifestyle shoes and performanxe shoes. Nb came out blue boxes for lifestyle shoes and red boxes for performance shoes.

For lifestyle shoes, some shoes are in red boxes because of the price range and becahse of the factory is..

Next blue boxes with de usa flag and de shoe comes with a made in usa tag is usa made.

Uk made shoes are in brown boxes..
