New Balance Athletics, Inc., or globally known as New Balance, is a brand famous for its high quality and accurately fit athletic footwear and apparel. It was established in 1906 by William J. Riley at its original name of New Balance Arch Support Company in Boston, Massachusetts. The first-ever footwear manufactured by New Balance featured unique flexible arch support with three different support points.

The founder was inspired to produce this footwear after seeing how chickens kept their balance using their three-pronged foot. Salesman Arthur Hall helped him sell his patented shoe in 1930. However, management changed several times, replacing a few things in the company. But in 1960, when New Balance introduced its first running shoe, the Trackster, it became the company’s turning point.

New Balance sneakers reached international fame because they are affordable and built for every foot, with a wide range of widths and sizes to accommodate all kinds of feet. New Balance came out with more designs with a better fit for everyone for better performance.
