With a focus on creating a customer-centric experience, the store is designed to bring people together and encourage customers to find their own authentic style. At the heart of the store is a central seating area, where customers can convene and draw inspiration from each other. The store features an edited selection of merchandise, highlighting the connection between sport and culture. The footwear and apparel on offer are carefully curated to cater to both elite athletes and fashion influencers, giving each customer the chance to envision their next great moment. Ian Fitzpatrick, Senior Director of Global Brand Strategy and Operations at New Balance, commented on the store concept, saying "This store represents a big step forward in the way we think about our retail environment, featuring a much tighter, more focused collection built specifically for the younger consumer." The store is not meant to tell all of New Balance's stories, but rather to invite new audiences to discover the brand for the first time. The Boston store is the second of its kind globally, with the first opening in Guangzhou, China in December 2022. The store will be open from Monday to Saturday 10AM to 7PM, and Sunday 11AM to 6PM, giving customers ample opportunity to visit and explore the new concept.","datePublished":"2023-02-09T15:08:00Z","headline":"Contemporary Engaging Stores","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"TREND HUNTER

href='javascript:void(0);'>Share on Pinterest</a> </div><div class='tha__articleText tha__articleText--hasAt'>New Balance has taken the retail industry by storm with its new store concept on 124 Newbury Street in Boston, Massachusetts. With a focus on creating a customer-centric experience, the store is designed to bring people together and encourage customers to find their own authentic style.<br /> <br /> At the heart of the store is a central seating area, where customers can convene and draw inspiration from each other. The store features an edited selection of merchandise, highlighting the connection between sport and culture. The footwear and apparel on offer are carefully curated to cater to both elite athletes and fashion influencers, giving each customer the chance to envision their next great moment.<br /> <br /> Ian Fitzpatrick, Senior Director of Global Brand Strategy and Operations at New Balance, commented on the store concept, saying "This store represents a big step forward in the way we think about our retail environment, featuring a much tighter, more focused collection built specifically for the younger consumer." The store is not meant to tell all of New Balance's stories, but rather to invite new audiences to discover the brand for the first time.<br /> <br /> The Boston store is the second of its kind globally, with the first opening in Guangzhou, China in December 2022. The store will be open from Monday to Saturday 10AM to 7PM, and Sunday 11AM to 6PM, giving customers ample opportunity to visit and explore the new concept.</div><div class='tpt__aSecCont'><div class='tpt__aSec'> <div class='tpt__aSecHeading'>Trend Themes</div> <div class='tpt__aSecItems'><div class='tpt__aItem'> <div class='tpt__aItemText'><b class='tpt__aItemTitle'>1.

on 124 Newbury Street in Boston, Massachusetts. With a focus on creating a customer-centric experience, the store is designed to bring people together and encourage customers to find their own authentic style.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nAt the heart of the store is a central seating area, where customers can convene and draw inspiration from each other. The store features an edited selection of merchandise, highlighting the connection between sport and culture. The footwear and apparel on offer are carefully curated to cater to both elite athletes and fashion influencers, giving each customer the chance to envision their next great moment.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nIan Fitzpatrick, Senior Director of Global Brand Strategy and Operations at New Balance, commented on the store concept, saying \"This store represents a big step forward in the way we think about our retail environment, featuring a much tighter, more focused collection built specifically for the younger consumer.\" The store is not meant to tell all of New Balance's stories, but rather to invite new audiences to discover the brand for the first time.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nThe Boston store is the second of its kind globally, with the first opening in Guangzhou, China in December 2022. The store will be open from Monday to Saturday 10AM to 7PM, and Sunday 11AM to 6PM, giving customers ample opportunity to visit and explore the new concept.<\/div><div class='tpt__aSecCont'><div class='tpt__aSec'>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class='tpt__aSecHeading'>Trend Themes<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class='tpt__aSecItems'><div class='tpt__aItem'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class='tpt__aItemText'><b class='tpt__aItemTitle'>1.

It is constructed with premium materials, using soft suede and color selections that nod to a previous collaboration between the two brands in 2012. <br \/>\n<br \/>\nThe fusion of grey and brown decorate the silhouette complete with contrasting hues of navy blue. Some of the differentiating components include the blend of pistachio green that makes its way onto the shoe's paneling and then followed by some reflective accents. Branding can be seen on the silhouette with the classic N on the side and it is secured by a thin lacing system over the forefoot.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nImage Credit: CNCPTS<\/div><div class='tpt__aSecCont'><div class='tpt__aSec'>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class='tpt__aSecHeading'>Trend Themes<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class='tpt__aSecItems'><div class='tpt__aItem'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class='tpt__aItemText'><b class='tpt__aItemTitle'>1.
