<h2>About New Balance</h2>

<p>New Balance Athletics, Inc. (NB), doing business as New Balance, is one of the world's major sports footwear and apparel manufacturers. Based in Boston, Massachusetts, the multinational corporation was founded in 1906 as the New Balance Arch Support Company. The company had its best year ever in 2024, with global annual sales reaching $7.8 billion — a 20% increase from 2023. The company is privately held and totaled $6.5 billion in revenue in 2023.</p>

<h3>What is New Balance's Company History?</h3>

<p>In 1906, William J. Riley, an Irish immigrant, founded the New Balance Arch Support Company in the Boston area, manufacturing arch supports and other accessories designed to improve shoe fit. His first product, a flexible arch support, was designed with three support points to provide greater balance and comfort in the shoe. It is believed that Riley came up with the name "New Balance" by observing chickens in his yard and demonstrated the way his arch supports worked by keeping a chicken foot on his office desk. He explained to customers that the chicken's three-pronged foot resulted in perfect balance.</p>

<p>In 1972, 28-year-old Jim Davis bought the company, feeling that "leisure-time products would be a high-growth market." At the time, the company consisted of six people making 30 pairs of shoes daily and selling products primarily through mail-order with a few U.S. retailers. New Balance is a privately owned company by Jim Davis and his family. It's estimated that the Davis family owns as much as 95% of the shares.</p>

<h3>Where Are New Balance Shoes Made?</h3>

<p>New Balance shoes are made in many countries, including China, Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, the United Kingdom, and the United States. New Balance has five factories in the United States, and they are very open about exactly which shoe models are made in the USA. The company is proud to be the only major company to make or assemble more than 4 million pairs of athletic footwear per year in the USA, which represents a limited portion of their US sales. Where the domestic value is at least 70%, they label their shoes Made in the USA.</p>

<h3>What Makes New Balance Different From Other Brands?</h3>

<p>As the only privately held major footwear company in the world, they're free to do things their way, pushing limits and testing boundaries as they continually reimagine what could be. New Balance focuses on comfort and fit, with many models offering wide-width options. Both brands excel in performance footwear, but New Balance tends to cater more to those looking for comfortable, everyday athletic shoes.</p>

<p>Grey has long become New Balance's signature color. It's classic, it's muted, it's versatile and it is often overlooked. That's why the brand announced an annual "Grey Day" back in 2018.</p>

<h3>What Are New Balance's Sustainability Efforts?</h3>
