NEW BALANCE Named Itself Appropriately


New York Mets Star Defends New Balance Against Anti-Trump Backlash

Curtis Granderson: 'If you like the shoes, buy the shoes'

BY:   November 16, 2016

New Balance has found a defender in New York Mets outfielder Curtis Granderson, who said that he will continue to wear the company’s shoes no matter what its executives say.
New Balance has faced a wave of outrage after an executive voiced his opinion that things would “move in the right direction” under President Donald Trump given his position on trade deals—a position that was shared by both Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders.
“The Obama administration turned a deaf ear to us and frankly with President-elect Trump we feel things are going to move in the right direction,” said Matt LeBretton, New Balance’s vice president of public affairs.
People began burning their New Balance shoes over the comment, but Granderson will continue to wear them.
