Everybody Is Burning Their New Balance Sneakers After The Election
Last weeks US elections were definitely a surprise for the whole world. Donald Trump trumped over Hillary Clinton and not everybody was and still is amused by it. Some reacted positively and some, like everybody who had a New Balance sneaker, negatively. Here is why:
After New Balance’s President of Public Affairs Matt LeBretton indicated that the company was in favor of the changes a Donald Trump presidency would bring, the sneaker community went off. He stated: “New Balance: ‘The Obama admin turned a deaf ear to us & frankly w/ Pres-Elect Trump we feel things are going to move in the right direction.” Their customers began to throw their sneakers away, cut them into pieces or even burn the shoes.

After people on the internet showed us what they really think about Trump and New Balance, the sneaker company got on Twitter and released the following note:
