New Balance’s CEO says the shoe Industry needs to take a page from Zara and Asos.

“It’s the new normal,” Joe Preston said on customized product. The CEO and president of New Balance spoke at the 2019 FN CEO Summit in Miami this week, emphasizing the importance of innovation.

Along with focusing on personalization, Preston discussed working more and more with young talent in order to create fresh designs. The brand has a strong relationship with Pensole Design Academy, creating a co-op program that offers students the chance to work with New Balance in the form of a one-year paid apprenticeship.

While innovation has been key to the firm’s growth, Preston said speed to market is top of mind. He explained, “What Zara and Asos are doing is a great example of what the shoe industry needs to do. The product life cycle is shorter [nowadays].” And New Balance isn’t forgetting its roots. “We are making investment on lots of different fronts. We’re investing in equipment, people and manufacturing plants,” Preston said during a presentation on its made-in-the-USA program. According to the CEO, the company is specifically putting efforts behind 3D printing in its American factories as well working with MIT graduates.
