DESCRIPTION

With the new 650 silhouette, New Balance presents a high-top counterpart to the ever-popular 550. While the 1980s design combined supportive features with epic proportions on the court, the 650 offers a streamlined and instantly wearable look. A classic leather upper is reinforced with a puffed, stitched collar for a subtle reinterpretation of the molded foam construction, while a rawhide eyelet conveys the shoe's premium construction in every detail.

COMPOSITION

• EVA sole, Rubber
• Leather

THE BRAND

The story of New Balance began in 1906 in Boston, Massachusetts, with shoe insoles for people with foot problems. Today, New Balance is not only one of the most innovative running shoe manufacturers, but also one of the oldest. From ambitious marathon runners to recreational runners, for a fast-paced workout on asphalt or a trail run in the mountains, New Balance offers the right shoe for every situation. New Balance's versatile color and style palettes offer something for every sneakerhead, and the brand enjoys cult status, especially with its traditional models. The New Balance brand was founded by orthopedic shoemaker William R. Riley. While observing chickens in his garden and noticing that they had an extremely stable stance with their three claws, he had the idea to develop a new insole with three supports. For him, it was "New Balance." And at the same time, he had found the right name for his company.
