New Balance is an American brand that was founded in 1906 by William J. Riley. The brand was called New Balance Arch Support Company at the time. The focus at the time was on orthotics and other products. In 1934, the brand joined Arthur Hall, who sold orthotics to people who had to stand all day.

In 1960, things changed within the brand. New Balance developed their first shoe that was meant as a running shoe. Afterwards, New Balance also developed shoes for many other sports, such as basketball and baseball. At this moment, the brand is one of the biggest and most popular shoe brands in the world.
