At New Balance, sport is in our DNA. So, it’s no surprise that our associates use their craft of sport to both challenge themselves and build community. Ryan Huang, a Sports Marketing Senior Specialist based in Taiwan, has always been passionate about endurance sports. Having completed several marathons and ultra-triathlon events, he was looking for his next challenge. This came in the form of a 7-day, 250 km (about 155.34 mi) trek through Central Mongolia, over rough country terrain with only a place in a tent and water provided. In addition to daily long-distance running, the race also had significant climbing involved, with a total elevation gain of over 4,000 meters. To add to the impressiveness, proceeds from the race supported local medical and education charities. While navigating the rugged Gobi Desert, he did a little multitasking – Ryan was also testing out the Fresh Foam X Trail More v3, which performed excellently. Even in the most challenging moments, Ryan never thought of quitting. Instead, he returned to his “why”: to challenge himself in new (extreme!) ways and to accomplish something that less than 0.01% of the world’s population has done. This was more than a race - it was a journey of self-transcendence and discovery. No matter the difficulty, with determination and perseverance, anything is possible. #runyourway

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.

It was an exciting few weeks for our New Balance athletes in Paris! Our CEO Joe Preston shares some highlights below 👇
Congratulations to all 84 of our amazing athletes who competed in Paris these past two weeks! From celebrating Coco Gauff’s selection as a U.S. flag bearer, to hosting global associate watch parties, and welcoming our retailers and athlete families and friends at our hospitality center in the City of Light, we made the most of every minute of this extraordinary athletic and cultural event. It was inspiring to see American Gabby Thomas show the world her talents with three gold medals in the 200m, 4X100m and 4X400m. And, to see American Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone continue to dominate on the track by winning gold and beating her own world record (for the 6th time!) in the 400m hurdles, then leading the U.S. 4X400m team to gold and a national record. Dutch runner Femke Bol continued to demonstrate her brilliance and took home 3 medals including gold as anchor for the mixed 4X400m relay, while Britain’s Alex Yee won gold in the triathlon in one of the most exciting finishes – just some of the many thrilling performances that inspired us and drove our OneNB pride to its highest level this summer! #OneNB New Balance
