New Balance, initially known as a manufacturer of shoe parts since its establishment in 1906, ventured into the sale of athletic footwear in the 1930s and firmly established itself as a prominent running brand by the 1960s. Although its origins lie in running, New Balance has undergone a significant evolution by diversifying into the production of court, skate, and streetwear shoes. An exemplar of this advancement is the New Balance CT10 'Blue White,' which showcases a sleek, skate-inspired design with a light blue canvas upper accentuated by the iconic white 'N' logo, all elegantly placed on a white midsole.
