It’s great to see New Balance in the Big Apple with their third New Balance Experience Store; #1 is in Massachusetts and #2 is in the Pentagon. The store is located downtown on 20th street and 5th avenue, which is near the iconic Flatiron building. As I arrived at the store around 7:30pm, I noticed that they closed at 8:00pm. This only gave me about 30+ minutes to shoot what I could and present you with some images for what types of products they will be carrying. Also, you will read about some exclusive information on the New Balance Custom shoes…
The New Balance Experience Store in NYC will cater to all ages alike. From Men to WMN and even Kids footwear, it’s a one stop shop for all your New Balance needs. Its’ not just limited to footwear either. They have a great selection of apparel and an area where you can order your very own Custom New Balance 880 shoe to go. It’s takes about 15 to 20 minutes for your 880 to be finished. An unheard of time for a custom or iD shoe built to order. Here’s where it gets interesting. According to the Store Manager, the NB Custom shoe of choice will change every quarter and it will not be limited to just modern runners. Seeing how well the NB 574 Custom is doing, New Balance will possibly include these in future updates at the store. They may even offer more than just one shoe to custom at the location. It really comes down to where they will store the materials. Once this is figured out, expect the choices to possibly go up.
Below you’ll see loads of product images and displays. Including an outside look of the NB custom area and the Urban Dash Baton display (Anyone playing the game?). You will see a New Balance 446 that I almost missed, a wmns 574 hiker, and the multiple New Balance Minimus models. Hope you enjoy the images and go visit the beautiful store. ENJOY!

I’m really humbled by your words. I would’ve never thought NB would one day leave a comment on my blog. The constant support from NB on Facebook and Twitter is a blessing. I do this because I love the products the brand produces. Old and New. So, everytime I shoot NB shoes you can see my passion in the images.
With that said, I’m estatic to know you like my work and I will continue to create these images of the brand I love, New Balance.
