‘CONNECTED’: Globe Business highlights collaboration, innovation in GSummit 2024

 

New Balance branch in Uptown Bonifacio

In 2022, New Balance opened more locations and introduced a number of shoe types, but that was just the beginning. The company, which was founded in 1906, is on pace to carry on its tradition of developing athletic and lifestyle clothing that empowers the wearers while giving back to the community and the environment. In order to make the world a better place, New Balance will continue to support dedicated individuals.

This goal serves as the brand's guide as it continues to grow in the Philippines, with new doors opening in Robinsons Magnolia and SM City Sta. Last year, Ayala Malls Capitol Central Bacolod, Mesa, Shangri-La Plaza Mall, Eastwood City, Uptown Bonifacio.

The store openings also marked the introduction of popular running and lifestyle models, such as the flexible and cushioned Fresh Foam 1080 and the retro-chic BB550. Customers who visited the recently opened stores would also have seen the New Balance lines Made in USA Grey v5, Teddy Santis, Joe Freshgoods, Toast Team Cream, 580 Workwear, 580 Olive, 9060 Sea Salt, 9060 Burgundy, 2002R Rain Cloud Angora, 550 Marquette, 1906R White Navy Gold, and 1906R Beige Cream. Even though these models have diverse reputations, they represent the style and functionality for which New Balance is renowned. It makes sense that New Balance increased the number of its devoted clients and witnessed continuous growth in its Viber community last year.

As it prepares to introduce new collections and establish additional stores in 2023, New Balance promises even greater and better things. The brand will highlight what it's like to live at the junction of sport and culture with new performance and lifestyle items under the theme "Life at the Intersection," which is sure to excite both devoted and potential customers.

Additionally, New Balance encourages everyone to "Run your way" in 2023. In addition to introducing new performance shoes, the campaign also strives to honor individuals' freedom of choice when it comes to how they run. The initiative seeks to serve as a reminder to all runners that they are respected, cherished members of society.

Children can anticipate returning to school in style in July thanks to the introduction of a kids collection from New Balance.

Another thing sneakerheads have to look forward to in mid-2023 is the widely anticipated annual New Balance Grey Day. The occasion will honor the venerable Grey Collection, which includes the renowned 574 and 9060 models.

New collections are anticipated to be released from April to July 2023 as New Balance maintains its prosperous run in the nation. Additionally, new stores will be opened all across the area, including Metro Manila (San Juan, Quezon City, and Makati).  Robinsons Tacloban opened in March, Ayala Malls Abreeza in Davao opened in April, and the Glorietta shop relocated last March. By increasing, the company hopes to serve the ever-expanding sneakerhead and athletic communities while staying true to its mission of encouraging customers to wear New Balance and follow their passions while running.
