England English and slang is so different from American English and slang. i love it. imagine being a part of a family that's been making something for 125+ years and the changes that came with the times and trying to keep up? i also love hearing about lil mom and pops making it big, unlike Ford who had money to start.
The song around the 2 minute mark is This Modern Love by Bloc Party, incase anyone was also going insane knowing that they know what it is but can’t quite put their finger on it. ❤
I own in excess of 60pairs boots alone, Mostly hiking but many are more than 6years old... My saving grace,No excessively expensive habits,drinking,smoking etc.. Fortunately 🙏
The 608 cross trainers 2018 and before were wonderful. I was a gym owner for 14 years. and wore them all the time. Also played racquetball and did wind sprints in them. SINCE 2018 the new Versions ( I bought some in 2023 after the last 8 pair wore out) are TERRIBLE with hard soles and thin inserts. My Plantar Faciitis that had been gone for 20 years came back in 3 days. I am now searching for new shoes. I would like to see New Balance go back to making them the way they did 2018 and before when made in Indonesia.
everywhere worked beautifully but someone stuck the shoe labels not exactly on the individual shoe boxes which looks totally shitty, there would have to be the chief controller the person better trained for that work operation.
Great video, still making made in England shoes by British and experience workers. In USA all the older and experience workers are replaced by no experience younger generation and this is why USA quality is way down.
I want those pub packs that man shoed all three the red lions and the other 2, please someone help get them ive been trying to get my hands on them for 33 years 😢😢😢
f you take out the insert on the MX608WT or other new 608V5's since 2018 and feel the sole inside the shoe, it is STONE HARD and the insert doesn't make up the difference from the older 608's from 2018 and before. THOSE OLDER SOLES 2018 and before, have a some give to them and feel softer. THAT IS THE DIFFERENCE from the 608's from 2018 and before and the ones made since then. It was a mistake to change the sole in this way. I am hoping New Balance, which I have loved for years, will go back to manufacturing them like they did 2018 and before, where the soles are a softer material that you are using now and with the inserts used then. Those older shoes were perfect and comfortable, where your new versions are way too hard to wear, and cause serious problems. I have seen many reviews from your former customers that are saying the exact same things, many on the New Balance site, and others on UA-cam. Please go back and manufacture them the right way, 2018 and before for the 608's Thank you, I would love to communicate with you about this!
I was suckered. The shoes today, made by New Balance, Nike, Adidas, and Puma...are NOT what they were in the 70's and 80's. The leather quality...has gone straight down the tubes. Recently, these shoe manufacturers, have come back with "retro" styles. I was thrilled. I bought a pair of Stan Smith Adidas...and Nike Air Force One's, and realized right away...the leather quality was pure crap, compared to back in the day. I was so angry. I felt deceived. The Stan Smith, and Air Force One, were a huge disappointment. I couldn't believe how pitiful the leather quality was. Now I do...have a pair of New Balance, Made In USA, 990's, made with pigskin, that are of high quality. Those I like. But other New Balance, the ones made in Asia...are pure crap. I feel shoe manufacturers have gone the way of the rest of coprporate America. Greed. Greed seems to be the "quality" one receives in today's world. It is truly true, that the love of money...is the root of all evil.

@@rickphilly1975 sorry I think you mistook what I said. The New Balance made in USA collection is made in the USA, whilst the made in UK one is made here in the UK. Deffo check it out, it’s really cool. I prefer a lot more of the made in USA designs but the UK also has some classics
The Bloc Party song at the beginning was perfection!
I love new balance sneakers. They are the most comfortable of all sneakers I ever used. ❤❤❤❤
I worked at the new balance factory here in Maine, USA. We had to do 600 pairs of shoes a day
Had to? Like a sweat shop?
@@TylerAlexander5280very different from that
I still work there and we are still expected to do 600 pair a day.
Yeah, pretty much. If your not making quota, your either fired or you line is shut down.@TylerAlexander5280
@@kayjill4217 per worker?
Iconic brand! The dark blue all leather 575 is a beauty. 👍
Beautiful shoes
Я не знаю английского, но как рабочий из обувной отрасли всё понял! Было интересно! спасибо!
Im gonna get a pair. Out of curiosity.
Everything comes to light❤❤❤❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥✌😉

FYI, other NB models are made in Vietnam.
Topppp
I can confirm that quality is much worst now that they are more popular
Could be related to labor shortage
Нью Беланс лучшая обувь в мире!!!!!!!!!!

Hello friends, I am Turkish, I live in Turkey, but I want to come and work with these companies, can you help me, what kind of way should I follow?

lol funny as ya didn't know who made reebok. 😂👍
Australians thought of reebok as a UK brand.
I want those pub packs that man shoed all three the red lions and the other 2, please someone help get them ive been trying to get my hands on them for 33 years 😢😢😢
i never knew this was a british brand
Because u don’t know anything.
New Balance was founded in 1906 by William J. Riley in Boston, Massachusetts. Not in the UK..!

New Balance are made in the UK trainers start at around £100
I hate that the presenter interferes with the crafters` job.
Hearing shoes called"trainers" makes me angry
Over valued for sure 😂
New balance is quintessentially a white people shoe and I can see why. Blacks wear Jordans
So this is the company that brags about being American made. Hahahahahahaha
Ignorance is bliss!
They have both 'made in uk' and 'made in USA' collections.. hope this clears it up :)
@Lee London No. It doesnt. If it's made in the USA then it should be shipped abroad
@@rickphilly1975 if you are in Argentina, Germany, Spain and purchase a ‘made in the USA’ model it is shipped abroad.

so boring
Why?
Beceause you gay
@@pravitt4852 Because New Balance outsources their production to SE Asia.
@@rickbro4164then complain about the premium pricing from first world country sources 😂until you learn ppl in the first world country is human too
