It all started back in 1906 in Boston, when William Riley watched the chicken confidently balance on three legs. This idea prompted him to create the unique insole with three points of support. This is how New Balance shoes were born — at first, it was the company that helped people with orthopaedic problems. But later it turned into something much more.

Vogue writes about it.

The brand released its first sneakers in 1938 for athletes. And in 1960, the Trackster model was released — for runners with "non-standard" feet, it was a real salvation. Then, in 1972, Jim Davis bought the company. Running became a massive trend, and it was during this period that the famous "N" on the sides of the sneakers appeared, which you can now recognise even from afar.

In the 80s and 90s, the brand released the 574 and 990, models that are still loved and worn today. They are regularly re-released, changing colors, but the essence remains — comfort, quality and recognisable style.

Which models definitely deserve a place in your wardrobe
