01Overview

About the New Balance affiliate program

New Balance is unusual in spanning two audiences that rarely overlap: serious runners who buy for gait and cushioning, and a fashion audience that buys the 550 and 990 as lifestyle sneakers. A creator can work either side of the brand without the content feeling incoherent.

For running content specifically, the brand's width sizing is a genuine differentiator and a strong content angle, few competitors offer it, and shoppers with wide feet actively search for it. That specificity converts far better than generic shoe roundups.

From the LinkApprove network
New Balance draws the widest split of audience types of any footwear program in the LinkApprove network, and width-sizing and gait-focused content converts noticeably better here than the general sneaker roundups that dominate the category.
