Why Choose the New Balance 850?
The New Balance 850 first debuted in 1996 as a bold departure from the brand’s more traditional running silhouettes, embracing a sleeker, fashion-forward look that stood out in the era’s performance sneaker landscape.
Designed by Stephanie Howard (one of the first female footwear designers at New Balance) the 850 broke convention with its logo-free upper, streamlined overlays, and emphasis on lifestyle appeal alongside function. While rooted in running performance, the model incorporated advanced cushioning technology for comfort and stability, reflecting New Balance’s ongoing commitment to innovation.
