With 2 billion views following the TikTok hashtag #newbalance, it’s safe to say the classic footwear brand is having a comeback. And it’s easy to see why.
New Balance’s understated design and focus on comfort make them the perfect addition to any fashionable outfit. Plus, they have that trending daggy dad aesthetic, but with a street-style edge. Think Zoë Kravitz, Kendall Jenner and Hailey Bieber-esque off-duty chic.
Founded in 1906, New Balance originally specialised in shoes with arch supports and other accessories designed to improve shoe fit and comfort. However, in the 1930s, the company began producing running shoes, quickly gaining a reputation for quality and innovation in the athletic shoe industry.
One of the brand’s key innovations was its use of a variety of width sizes to accommodate different foot shapes. This gave New Balance a point of difference, as it was a departure from the one-size-fits-all approach that was common at the time.
In the past few years, chunky, retro-style sneakers have come back in style, which has helped the brand come back into the mainstream. It’s also helped that the brand pairs well with most outfits, even working with workwear.
