  • The music on this VIDsucks and so does NB. I told my wife how I had seen this article stating that New Balance was made in the USA. So for Christmas she bought me a pair of New Balance shoes. As I was happily putting them on guess what I saw on the backside of the tongue. "Made In Fucking China". No wonder this country is going to shit, the only thing this country produces (IN LARGE QUANTITIES) is Bullshit!

  • Gotta to love New Balance... they didn't go where the Establishment sent all others manufacturers. They weathered the exodus storm... now Americans will start to reward them for their loyalty. :O.?

  • I try to buy American whenever I can. Most of the food I buy comes from my hometown Detroit, Michigan, my Camaro was built in Norwood, Ohio, and my New Balance shoes come from the east coast of America. Awesome!

  • Why the fuck do people wear this shit if they aren't athletes? I don't fucking understand it. Plus they look like shit. Problem Balancefags?

  • I only buy NB shoes that are made in the USA. I have 1/2 Made in USA NB shoes and have bought USA NB shoes for my wife, son and nieces. By the way, I only buy American made products online. I dont buy at the mall anymore (except for NB and SAS shoes). I will buy a USA made Toyota Pick Up before even considering a Chevy Silverado, Dodge Ram or Ford F Seris that are coming from Canada or Mexico!!

  • i love it go buy american and someone in america has a job because of it so simple. buy something made in china someone in china has a job from it wow its rocket science.

  • Google websites for Made in America stuff. Even if it cost you an extra 3 dollars

  • No one should buy ANYTHING made in Communist China!

  • MGhh... in my shoes stands made in vietnam :?

    New balance wearder

  • Wow big props to New Balance! How do they stay competitive?

    Check out the Grablet, also manufactured in the USA.

  • I've been wearing New Balance shoes ever since I was a child, just found out several months ago that they are a U.S. based company! It was quite a shock. :D

  • @spanishlove100 I've been searching for USA made products and it's nearly impossible. Not all NB shoes are made in USA only 25% of the shoes are made in USA. Even shoes with "Made in USA" tags have imported materials. Look up "NB struggles to keep US shoe factories going." I love NB's effort to try to make some of their products in the US it's better than nothing, but it's evident that companies would go out of business if they didn't make their products overseas.

  • I visited Skowhegan this summer, and stopped at the New Balance Factory Store. I picked up a pair of 993s that were made in the New Balance factory that is right across the street. I was actually thinking how cool it would be to get a pair autographed by the people who make them in the factory.

  • I have two pairs of 993s and three pairs of 811 walking shoes, all made in USA. New Balance American made shoes are the only kind I buy and more. I'd love to toss my Rockports and Nikes into the fireplace, but I'll do the right thing and give them to charity instead.

  • Not all of them are made here. 25% of their shoes are made her so check the shoe before you buy.

    25% is still better than 0%

    I have 3 pairs of 993s that are made here.

  • Comment removed

  • wow did not know these where mad in USA I will start buying NB from now on!

  • Support America buy Made in The USA

  • Awesome. I've been a customer for over ten years.

  • 3 mexicans got turned down for a job there

  • They said America would fall in 1812. They said America would fall in 1861. They said America would fall in 1921. They said America would fall in 1929. They said America would fall in 1962. They said America would fall in 1973. They said America would fall in 1980. They said America would fall by 2015.

    Well, let's look at history. And proud to buy New Balance shoes.

  • @redreaper2020 how come mine say "made in Indonesia"?

  • Just bought a pair today :)

  • this is great. i am definitely buying new balance. i wish they would advertise this more on tv, so people can make a choice to buy american...

  • NEW BALANCE -- still made in America!

    (small world - I just bought my 1st pair yesterday in Pasadena... guess I did help keep some American's working w/ my purchase yesterday!)

  • GOOGLE =====> ''Made in USA'' for directory to where you can buy made in America goods. Help keep the jobs here in America.

  • @spanishlove100 You are right!

    

  • I only wear New Balance

  • sorry newbalance. But i've moved on over to redwings :D

  • New Balance, I don't understand why you don't advertise this more. I didn't know that you made shoes in the US- or that you were the only shoemaker producing in this country- until I researched it myself. Where are the commercials? If you advertised this on TV, your sales would SKYROCKET. People don't know about you. They don't know that you make shoes here. They don't know your story. Get it out there! It would be beneficial for your company, for the consumers, and for our entire nation.

  • @petey8887 It's showed on the tongue of the shoes...New Balance have also the U.K. factory...other great shoes...maybe the best...

  • Come on n.b bring al your shoes to italy .pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

    i must always ask my friend that live in u.s,a to get them..

  • I would buy American products if I could find any.

    Go to any store and all you find is products made in every country but our own.

  • I was raised to BUY AMERICA, and still am, I buy new balance MADE IN USA ONLY. Even though New Balance does have ones made in China, you HAVE TO BE CAREFUL and look at the toungue(sp?) of the shoes AND the box that has the little flag on it. I've been buying New balance made in usa ever since I can remember. Now I am 16 years old and I appriciate what they do for america. BUY AMERICAN!!!

  • I wear NEW Balance shoes! USA

  • So are all 574's made in the U.S.? I see some on their site that aren't listed as such and I have no idea if it's just a site typo.

  • Buy New balances from J Crew all made in the USA

  • Nikes are made in China. I'm no flag waver, but I'm going to try and buy American.

  • @Spartacus217 Thats gonna be hard man.

  • Made in USA, ,,,,Great to see , l will buy NB from now on.

  • can someone clarify? made in usa? but why does new balance 606 says made in china when i check the tag?

  • I am not American, but i support GOOD Quality products. 

  • I have NB 716 (USA) its been 4 yrs still working. Unlike the avia (China) it only last 2yrs ....NB is good specially in extreme hot condition here at Saudi.....luckily NB made in USA are now available at Phl.......

  • screw the chinks buy American!

  • Hey, I've been using NB exclusive for running 5K every day for 5 years. Now using 993. I buy 2 pair each year and alternate daily. Someone posted they had a pair for seven years. Ouch! BTW I'm 65 y.o.

  • Like just about any product anymore, some of the top models of brand are made in the USA. New Balance still has some shoes that are made in China. Danner Boots, of Portland,Oregon, still makes some great outdoors boots in Portland, however, the lightweight hikers are made in China. Filson, famous for it's rugged outerwear from Seattle, now has some of it's garments made in China.

  • @whiskeybill1000 is new balance that says made in china is the fake one? or just inferior one? real new balance made in usa?

  • Perhaps, there will be a website that list all product just MADE IN USA. so the consumer aware where is the product come from. an Informative web.

  • New Balance shoes are awesome!! I bought my current pair 7 years ago, and they're still in good shape!

  • i was really pumped about this seeing as how i love NB. but my new pair of mt10's was made in.....china

  • I'd still never be caught dead in New Balances.

  • i bought an american flag set just to find out later that day it was made in china.

  • er,some are made in their Uk fctory as well as their USA factory! they are a great shoe but leave us brits with something please. NB are a British tradition sneaker[thought i=d cal them that so u yanks would understand,in UK they r trainers}

  • Like my Facebook page to find more American made products. "Sick of Chinese Junk? Buy American" 373 likes and growing dayly. New Balance shoes have been posted here.

  • Like my Facebook page to find more American made products. "Sick of Chinese Junk? Buy American" 373 likes and growing dayly.

  • My 1300's and 998's were made in USA. Yes!

  • My new 860s are made in teh usa.. i bought 2 of them

  • YESS GO AMERICA

  • lets stop buying from china. go to stopbuyingfromchina.webs.com and help stop buying products from china. it explains WHY, and How, etc.

  • I wish other brands would follow NB's way. Chinese made stuff is crap. I remember Converse CT's lasting long (they are made in china now) , those days are gone! NB deserves tax cuts and in this economy, Americans need work. I had my 574's for 2 years, still holds up.

  • Buy New Balance support the American worker!!!

  • very very very STRONG.  Have A Strong Day, New Balance.

  • Fuck America, China will be the New World Power, in some years.

  • I come from a low-income working class family and I would rather spend more money on American-made products than to buy cheaper products from other third-world countires. I do not understand how we are the strongest nation in the world and we let our market gets stuffed with these low-cost pieces of shit. Why doesn't America buy products made in their own damn country? Doesn't make any sense to me. One day people will understand....When there is NO MORE AMERICA!

  • I just bought a pair of NB shoes today. The label in the "tongue" of the shoes say, "MADE IN CHINA"? I'm confused!

  • @thisismyusernamemofo like less than 1% of their shoes are US made..just a marketing gimmick...theres no difference between a rubber and nylon glued together shoe made in US or China...all machine made anyway...

  • @thisismyusernamemofo theres two types of New Balances well actually three, the Consumer which is made in China, The Nation's Pride, made in USA and the Union Jack Pride, made in England. Google up Hanon Shop they sell alot of really nice New Balances :D

  • @thisismyusernamemofo

    Some models are made in the US, others are not. As with any product you buy, check the label. I always buy off the internet as it makes it easier to find the American made shoe. Funny thing is comparable Nike shoes, made in China, are more expensive. Talk about alot of profits for Nike!

  • ...Almost brought a tear to my eye!

  • I think I might buy new balance minimus roads as my next shoe because I feel like I haven't been supporting America as much as I should have. I always try to support local businesses instead of walmart, maybe it's time to make the move from Chinese products to American products too if i can.

  • These are my favourite athletic shoes. In no small part because of their Made in America collection.

  • Converse made in Indonesia

  • @lgaidr and Vietnam lol

  • I've got 992's 1023's and 2002's .. all US made, and not only that... better than anything made by Nike in China!

  • I have a vintage Sharp "Linytron Plus" 21 or so inch color TV that was actually assembled in the USA from parts designed and manufactured in Japan.

  • "Just Do New Balance"

  • Today I bought New Balance: Made in USA and was proud that this country still produces. New balance also makes shoes in China but also in USA. Support American Jobs buy "Made in USA"

  • Back in 1984, when I was 7, I bought my first serious sneakers. They were of course New Balance. They said "Made in the Usa", and I fell in love with them. Mom insisted on Adidas or others, but it was my birthday and It was my choice. Im from Madrid, Spain.Now, I only have Nb's either USA or Uk, but no China or Vietnam. I will support usa/uk new balance. Sadly my sons cant have usa/uk sneakers! 999 I love them!

  • i really want the iconic 1400 only sold in japan

    but now they sold at j crew for 130

  • Keep in mind this is only a marketing campaign. According to their own website: "...we're proud to say that 25% of our shoes sold in North America are made or assembled right here". And the shoes they do manufacture in the U.S. are made both from domestic and foreign materials (imported mainly from China).

  • some of the materials might be foreign but i don't think they can call it an american shoe unless at least 70 something% is from here.

  • made in america by non americans with materials from china....i love my 993s though

  • @mow4cash 993s are made with american material.

  • I have a pair of 992s and 993s and a pair of 1226s on the way. I also plan on getting some 993s for friends at chrismas. As long as they make them here this will be the only athletic shoe I will buy.

    America will make it as long as we continue to make it in America.

  • your motto must be,''FUCK CHINA!BE AMERICAN,BUY AMERICAN!''

  • @raahulworld not china the country china the town its pretty close and i live in dixfield maine and new balance is awesome iv had a pair of there shoes for 3 years and they havent let me down yet.

  • god i want a website that has all products made in America buy Americans.....

  • @Michael2k5x911 Go to US Stuff and Sill Made in the USA.com and americans working.com. I try to get as much of my stuff from those sites as I can.

  • best running shoe and a american has a job making them my only brand I buy

  • I didnt know they were made in the usa,,,,,,I will buy a pair now.

  • They sold me the f$%^ out. I just bought a $50 pair of NB shoes at Kohl's and was about to go online to brag...guess what? "Fabrique a Chine" .

  • @Grantrus71 ya the fabric is probably from china but is manufactured here so im guessing

  • This is the only shoe maker that deserves a tax cut.

  • i like nike better lol

  • As long as they make their shoes either in the US or Europe I'm buying them.

    Simon

  • smart! using patriotism to make money, only in america

  • my 1226's are made in china. so much for nb saying they make shoes in the u.s

  • Nike is better.

  • @Andycards Nike is depressing, look at how they treat their damn workers..horrifying crap.

  • @Andycards How is Nike better? My last pair of NB lasted me 3 years. Sketchers, Nike....all logo and no go. Designer names is all they are.

  • I'm glad for you guys to be able to buy something that was NOT made in China.

    Unfortunately here in Croatia (Europe) we don't get that. I just bought New Balance shoes cos' I had heard a lot of good things about that brand. But my pair is MADE IN CHINA! And I paid them about 160$. Need I say that here in East Europe our living standard is much lower than yours. Anyway they do look and feel like quality shoes. Just hope they'll keep the rain out.

  • Just got a new pair of 993s, can't wait to see where they take me

  • My next paycheck, I am going to buy me a pair of these shoes, so long as I see the Made in the USA tag.

  • Nike is better then New Balance is better!!

  • american brans must be made in USA

  • Long live all US products!!!

    USA! USA! USA!!! :D

  • No way, I thought all shoes were made in China. Looks like my next pair of shoes will be New Balance. Support America, buy American.

  • My Grandpa, Phil Woods (age 72), is such an inspiration. While wearing his favorite shoes, New Balance 993's, he is currently walking across America to promote a healthier nation. He has already walked from East to West and now is on his trek from North to South. He estimates to get about 420 miles out of his New Balance shoes and recommends them to any walker.

  • Go NB!

  • Bought a pair of 8512, most comfortable shoes and made right here in the USA!

  • I have been running in the MT 100 for a month now & love them. I think I'll keep looking to run in NB shoes in the future. The MT's I have were made in China....

  • I've been through a lot of shoes made by a lot of companies. NB are the most comfortable to me. I didint know it was made in the U.S. its an added bonus.

  • i love this video

  • American's love their drivel in advertising.

  • Beautiful video. Just orderd myself a pair of NBs. Can't wait.

  • fucking comercials I was searching for ninja balance not new ballance

  • Made in U.S.A is always better. I love my pair to New Balance 993's made in the U.S.A. They're the most comfortable shoes I have ever bought. Buy American=Best Quality.

  • @TouchdownTopper While I do think it's better to support the American workers, I have to call BS on the quality claim. Compare the stitching on one of NB's "made in the USA" shoes (the ONLY series they actually make in the US) with the stitching on their chinese shoes. The stitching on the Chinese shoes is way better. Because it costs so much more to pay americans a fair wage, the US shoes actually have to be sewed with automated machines, while the chinese shoes are still hand-stitched.

  • Best shoes in the world, best shoes for people with wide feet. Buy American my pair of 993's are the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. I run 8 miles a day and it feels great knowing I'm running with a part of America on me and that I helped a American somewhere, not some sweatshop in China. Buy American

  • This is why I buy New Balance. Probably cost 2 dollars more a pair to make shoes there than in China. Really little impact on the final price.

  • New balance has lots of shoes made in the USA, England, Japan, and some in China. There is a huge quality difference between the first three and the last one. Only if the other brands would do this same thing and stop being too cheap to pay people real money.

  • @bigmikel2002

    Whats costs more. Buying a quality shoe for $80-$100 or having to keep buying poor quality $40-50 shoes?

  • nicely edited video.  great product.

  • WoW! what a beautiful town. I'm American of long rooted decent...

    Please dont' let foreigners come in there and take over like they have in the rest of the country...and Wal-Mart. Americans need jobs...protect Americans..

    Thanks for the vid...

    I'm going to buy NEW BALANCE SHOES now : )

  • thats it i'm buying new balance and i don't care how much it cost. i wish more goods are made in the USA

  • Madei n America is joke.Why my NB 479 are made in China?

  • @janord

    They don`t make all their shoes in the USA. But they are super easy to find out which ones are. Go to their website and click on shop then on New Balance Express. They have a section for US made and US assembled shoes.

    I usually find the shoe model number then go to Amazon because of the lower price. Funny thing is the US made shoes are sometimes cheaper then foreign shoes from Nike.

    Talk about a huge markup on those Nike shoes! Probably costs about 10 dollars to make.

  • I buy only New Balance, the ones that are made in the USA. Little steps like that -- if we all do it -- can help our country from totally sinking into the shitter. Despite what the likes of Goldman Sachs told us in the 1990s, we are not all going to be rich stock investors some day. That was a lie they sold to us so they could suck money from the working and middle class as they sent jobs oversees.

  • funny. i saw limited edition NB shoes that are made in england.

  • Despite whether they're made in China or USA, I really love the honesty and integrity of American brand products. In China, many things are labeled, "Made in USA" even though they're made in Philippines or Korea.

  • Why are my New Balance 470s made in China? I assumed that all the New Balance products were made in the USA. Thats the whole reason I bought them!

  • 幹你娘

    現在新平衡鞋子都是我們中国制造

    你們這些美國鬼子在騙啥

  • 高端系列没有在中国造,9系列吧。国内标价比美国贵一半,呵呵。­

  • they make their own shoes, in the USA, they have a factory in Skowhegan

  • I thought my 993's were made in the US.

    American products FTW.

  • @famousamos  They are!

  • i'm in this..so it was worth watching.

  • Commercial Made in USA, but shoes still Made in China ! ...LoL

  • @EdT586 correct

  • They make shoes in China as well. Mine are made in the USA. And I'll continue to buy New Balance as long as that is the case.

  • @jeepga but we need to stick to the shoes that are made heare in the USA screw China

  • @jessejmorris2nd tell that to nike which has more money then new balance but cares less about providing jobs in america and nikes quality keeps dropping.

  • @jessejmorris2nd

    Support America buy American!

  • @TouchdownTopper what do you think will have to be done for United states companies and people to start making our products, of all varieties, like elctronics, aplliances, food, toys, etc.in USA instead of making everything in other nations like, china, mexico, taiwan, etc.

  • @TouchdownTopper It's not Buy American, it's buy Made in USA. Nike is American but they make their shoes in China. Nissan is Japanese but they make a lot of their cars in the USA. Always look for Made in USA, even if it is a foreign brand. I will always buy Made in USA

  • @vgcq02

    yes Nissan cars are put together here, but the parts are made in Japan , So only workers at the assemble plant have jobs, US auto companies employed up to 500,000 workers per company though there suppliers of parts, My wife worked for a small company that supplied steering parts for the big three, they are gone so just because the say made in USA there aren't always

  • @nfd1960 Exactly, I would rather buy a Honda that is build in the USA rather than a dodge that is built in Mexico.

  • @TouchdownTopper I would, if i can find any. but u do reilize its americans who are selling u the m.i.c products right? so technacly made in china means made by america.

  • @jeepga they have factories every where but they are the only one left with any shoe factories in the USA

  • @jeepga I buy my NB at the goodwill, some NB I buy are 95% new, so I dont buy from China and I dont buy from Corporations like NB i buy locally!!! and in doing so i'm not polluting!

  • @EdT586 Nope... they have a shoe factory 5 miles from my house in Boston.

  • some of their shoes are made in the United States, some are made in China. i have new balance spikes and they're made in china.

  • these is a racist commercial where are all the Hispanics that work there where where none in the commercial hum yea im from lawrence mass

  • "Watch the associates of our Skowhegan, Maine"

    Learn to read, then learn to type.

  • New Balance FTW

  • Once upon a time the term Made in The USA meant so much.

  • God bless America.

  • I have 3 pairs of New Balance USA shoes and the comfort and craftsmanship is awesome and unmatched. I will continue to get NB shoes that are made in the USA.

    Keep empowering American based jobs!

  • I went to the New Balance store and asked for some made In USA shoes... They had em, I bought em, and I am proud the are made here... I just wish every NB shoe was made here... So check the label people,  peace.

  • this is a good commercial

  • Nb is now on karmaloop(dot)com get them for cheap and add an extra 20% off when using rep code DN37568. Check all the other dope brands while your there !

  • I didn't see any made in USA.

  • They made this epic like.

  • markodemocracy

  • I HAVE THE NEW BALANCE 993 IS THE BEST.

  • WOW

  • yea new balance are pretty damn comfortable!

  • NB was my first real jogging shoe and the staff at my store were really helpful. This is a fantastic production on top of their good shoes.

  • I'm considering getting a pair of New Balance after being loyal to Asics for a few years and found this commercial on their Web site ... it does seem a little too pro-America, but in the wrong way.

  • I came from India never thought of nb in my life but some how I buy my first america shoe its was nb shoe and i never buy feeling proud of my nb shoe god bless you new balance company.

  • I have been buying New Balance shoes for years that are Made in the USA and they are the best shoes that you can buy!!!

  • Does anyone know what song they used for this video?

  • In the commercial that is shorter on tv, its This Will Destroy - The World Is Ours. It sounds as if in this clip that its the same song, just slowed down in reverse.
