Where Does New Balance Come From?
New Balance is an active clothing company headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts, originally founded as the New Balance Arch Support Company in 1906. The brand initially produced insoles and other orthopedic devices. The headquarters remain in Boston, largely due to the city's rich historical ties. Additionally, Boston is known for its strong sports culture, making it an ideal home for a brand like New Balance. The city also offers access to a talented labor pool, and the presence of many sports events provides the brand with ample opportunities to grow and develop.
How Did New Balance Originate?
New Balance was founded in 1906 by William J. Riley and started as a company marketing arch supports for workers who stood all day. Hence, the original name 'New Balance Arch Support Company.' William J. was inspired by the balance chickens maintained in his backyard thanks to their three-toed feet. This idea formed the basis for designing an insole that offered better balance and comfort, which eventually became the foundation for New Balance sneakers.
Over the years, the company evolved and began designing and producing sports shoes. New Balance set itself apart by making shoes in multiple widths, a unique approach that contributed to the brand's success. It slowly became the brand we know today, famous for its high-quality shoes and athletic clothing.
Is New Balance Sustainable?
Yes, New Balance employs various sustainability measures and goals for the future. The brand has already introduced a special Green Leaf label for sneakers and clothing, meaning an item must consist of at least 50% eco-friendly or recycled material. For the long term, New Balance is committed to reducing its carbon footprint and aims for greener production practices with climate considerations in mind. The brand strives to make all products from 100% eco-leather and 50% recycled polyester by 2025. Additionally, New Balance plans to implement a 'zero-waste' policy in all its factories and eliminate all chemicals and waste products by that same year.
