Independent since 1906, we empower people through sport and craftsmanship to create positive change around the world.

About us

In 1906, New Balance began as a humble one-man operation founded on the belief that “we were born to move,” and has since grown into an international corporation, selling footwear and apparel in over 120 countries and employing over 8,000 associates worldwide. Our mission has always been to support the performance of athletes, and with an unparalleled focus on quality and craftsmanship, we’ve come to set the standard for comfort and fit in an industry all too often driven by hype. We’re incredibly proud of our history and how far we’ve come, but companies don’t thrive for over a century by being content. Whether it’s setting a new style trend, retooling our manufacturing process, or building a new state-of-the-art headquarters, we pursue innovation with a spirit of fearless independence. As the only privately held major footwear company in the world, we’re free to do things our way, pushing limits and testing boundaries as we continually reimagine what could be. After all, the status quo isn’t static. But doing things our way wouldn’t mean much if we weren’t also doing them the right way. We invest in our associates as they invest in us, and as we move forward, we make a point of giving back, supporting communities around us through ambitious philanthropic efforts and involvement programs. We are a company that cares, and our culture is one of integrity and teamwork where together we become greater than the sum of our parts.

    New Balance is committed to strengthening connections among associates, teams and departments, while promoting career growth and professional development. Our recently expanded internal networking platform provides opportunities for associates to share expertise, network and create valuable connections across the entire organization. "Fresh out of college and new to New Balance, I was eager to network and expand my knowledge within this industry – as well as get to know people in the Boston area. This program provided me with the tools necessary to connect and engage with unique roles outside of my scope and daily responsibilities and offered invaluable insights into the inner workings of the industry and how everyone's roles fit together like puzzle pieces," said Cristina Guillen Diaz, Associate Materials Designer. "Each conversation is an exchange of backgrounds, stories and skill sets, and by the end of every interaction, we can both serve as reliable reference points for future support in our respective departments. Another advantage is recognizing familiar faces in the office from these introductions, which has made me feel more welcome in such a big company. Overall, I am grateful New Balance offers this program, and I would recommend it to all associates regardless of role or job level." #networking #professionaldevelopment

With volunteer help from New Balance associates, Cradles to Crayons Massachusetts is helping to equip thousands of Massachusetts children with essential items - completely free.

    As Sr. Global Marketing Director of Performance, Ian Fitzpatrick leads the marketing across our sport categories, athlete activations, and partnerships, though he describes his primary objective as mixing up culture to find ways to relate to people — absorbing what’s happening in the world, what’s relevant, what matters, and crafting it into some kind of “why.” As far as he’s concerned, it’s the best job in the world.    “It just turned out that the things I loved somehow miraculously ended up being a job,” he says. “Like my fun became something I could get paid for.”    Ian has taken several leaps throughout his career — when he got into advertising, when he started his own agency, when he took his first in-house role, and, most recently, when he pivoted away from brand marketing. Each move felt bold at the time, but he’s found that following his passion and betting on himself is a winning formula.    “I have never not been happy in the end when I took a leap and tried something that I wasn’t entirely comfortable with or ready for. I’ve always looked for opportunities that excite me and have been willing to gamble on my ability to figure it out when I get there.”
