NEW BALANCE ADDS TIM WEAH TO THE BRAND’S ROSTER
Tue, Oct 26.21
New Balance are continuing to make waves with the signing of U.S. and LOSC Lille star Tim Weah. Weah has signed a multi-year sponsorship deal with the brand which is going to take them to new creative heights.
Weah is already a star in his own right, but it's hard to ignore his last name which is filled with prestige. His father, George Weah, is a former Ballon d'Or winner and current president of Liberia. Anyone got a cooler dad?
Tim was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY, and is regards as one of the brightest prospects out of America. He crafted his skills in the U.S. before heading to European football academies - most notably PSG.
Since joining PSG at a young age he has won trophies in Paris, then at Celtic and most recently at LOSC Lille last season. When you're winning Ligue 1 with Les Dogues over the might of PSG, you must be doing something right.
It's not just on the pitch where Tim is a creative force as well. He is very cool and has a great personality. He's also a massive sneakerhead. It seems like a match made in heaven, with Weah able to work with New Balance across football and lifestyle campaigns globally. He will be able to utilise passions for music, art and fashion with a brand we know can excite.
Weah says he takes inspiration from the places he has called home and intends to give back to youth in the US, Jamaica and Liberia.
“Lifting the trophy last season was incredible, it’s a moment I’ll never forget. Now, working with New Balance I’m even more excited about what the future holds. It’s a huge brand that does things their own way and with them, I can express myself and show the world what I can do” - Tim Weah.

“Tim is an exceptional talent, with a fantastic story. His versatility and speed make him a formidable opponent and one of the most exciting young players in the league. His fearless ability to take risks and embrace his creative side is exactly why he will make a great addition to Team New Balance. We are delighted he has chosen to join the New Balance family and look forward to celebrating his accomplishments on and off the pitch.” - New Balance Head of Global Football Sports Marketing Andrew McGarty.
Tim will wear New Balance Furon v6+ boots on matchdays and the latest brand collaborations on days off to feed his love of footwear. The New Balance Furon v6+ is the ideal boot for the player who is all about the ability to feel the ground and the ball allowing for constant connection to the game.
