New Balance originated in Boston in 1906 as New Balance Arch Company and was started by British immigrant William J. Riley. Riley’s core concept was based on the three-clawed feet of a chicken, which resulted in perfect balance. He initially started New Balance to manufacture arch supports and accessories inspired by the three-clawed model. Fast-forward to 2015 and New Balance is an established manufacturer of athletic and fashionable footwear.
