New Balance has organized a portion of their team to design and manufacture face masks in their Lawrence, Massachusetts factories to distribute for free during this global COVID-19 pandemic. The facility will be either partially or completely repurposed for the sole purpose of creating these face masks.

The masks will be distributed to US healthcare workers and patients on the frontline of this pandemic. The masks themselves appear to be made from familiar materials present in New Balance shoes which, through design innovations, have been reinvented into the high demand health supplies.

Several other brands in the fashion industry such as Nike and LVMH have announced similar initiatives or made donations to provide aid during this international crisis.

Sole Savy is unreal! With a busy schedule it’s hard to keep up on shoes, and the group keeps me up to date on releases, tips on how to manually cop, and a marketplace with killer deals from fellow like minded collectors. It’s changed the sneaker game for me!

@SoleSavy is the truth. They've helped me cop kicks I never would've imagined getting at retail. Members always willing to assist on drops too. And most of all, a REAL community of REAL sneakerheads. These guys should be the gold standard for sneaker communities! #LifetimeMember

My membership paid for itself three fold by being solely responsible for my union 4’s, mesh sacai waffles, sacai blazers, court purple aj1s, glow in the dark yeezy 350s, travis scott lows (which I traded to get desert ore ow’s), air max 1 londons, bc3’s for way under retail etc.

Can't say enough about SS. The stellar help with copping shoes is a given but it's the community that makes it extra special. Hands down one of the best decisions I made as a wannabe sneakerhead.

The community of sneakerheads and resources available to help manually cop are great and really will help you get more Ws. The Zoom calls for hyped drops like Union Jordan 4 only adds to the camaraderie while providing real time instruction
