What Do the Different Letters and Numbers on New Balance Shoes Mean?
The letters on New Balance shoes are used to indicate the purpose of the specific style. For instance, “MW” would mean that the shoe is for men’s walking. The numbering system following the letters is split into two different parts and is used as a way of identifying the performance level and style series of the shoe. The first one or two numbers indicate the technology level used in developing the shoe, and the last two numbers are for identifying its style. For example, a “40” at the end means the shoe was designed for optimal control, whereas a “90” means it was built for speed.
