New Balance promo code for May 2026

🏷️ What is New Balance?

New Balance is an American brand founded in Boston in 1906, specialising in sports shoes and sportswear. Long associated with technical running footwear, New Balance has in recent years become a key player in streetwear thanks to iconic models such as the 574, the 990 and the 550. The brand sets itself apart from its competitors by manufacturing some of its premium models in the United States and the United Kingdom.

👟 Which are the most popular New Balance models?

The 574 is New Balance’s most iconic lifestyle trainer, with its ENCAP sole and recognisable retro design. The 990 is the premium ‘Made in USA’ model, acclaimed for its exceptional comfort and durability. The 550 has become a streetwear staple with its sleek, low-cut silhouette. For running, the Fresh Foam X (maximum cushioning) and FuelCell (responsiveness) ranges are the current go-to choices. The 327 and 9060 complete the lifestyle range with bolder designs.

💡 Good to know: New Balance Made in USA and Made in UK models (990 range, M1500) are crafted from premium materials with superior finishes — their higher price is justified by durability and comfort that are well above average.

📏 Are New Balance sizes true to size?

New Balance generally fits true to size, or even slightly roomy — an advantage for those with wide feet. The brand also offers certain models in multiple widths (standard D, wide 2E, extra-wide 4E) to suit all foot shapes. For running shoes, it is advisable to go half a size up to allow space in the forefoot during exercise.

🔖 When does New Balance offer its best deals?

The biggest discounts appear during Black Friday, the winter and summer sales, and during private sales reserved for newsletter subscribers. New Balance has an Outlet section with permanent discounts on discontinued colours and models from past seasons. Collaboration models and limited editions, however, are rarely discounted.

💡 Tip: specialist retailers (Footshop, i-run, SNS) often stock exclusive New Balance colourways not available on the official website — a good place to look if you’re searching for a specific model.
