New Balance 850

Introducing the New Balance 850

The New Balance 850 made its debut in 1996, marking a bold shift from the brand’s traditional running silhouettes and introducing a sleeker, more fashion-forward design that stood out in the performance sneaker scene of the time.
Created by Stephanie Howard, one of New Balance’s first female footwear designers, the 850 challenged convention with its logo-free upper, streamlined overlays, and a design that balanced lifestyle appeal with functionality. While firmly rooted in running performance, the shoe featured advanced cushioning technology for enhanced comfort and stability, showcasing New Balance’s enduring dedication to innovation.
