New Balance To Make Face Masks For Hospitals

New Balance is doing its part in combating the COVID-19 crisis by manufacturing face masks for hospitals. The footwear company plans to work with government officials and local medical institutions to close the gap on the lack of masks that hospital professionals have been dealing with.

New Balance will be making prototypes in the manufacturing facility in Lawrence, Massachusetts. They will begin scaling production once adequate prototypes are confirmed. Judging by their recent post on Instagram, there seems to be a sample of a mask from the company with the slogan that reads “Made shoes yesterday. Making masks today.”

Nike’s Best-Selling Sneaker In History Was The 2019 Air Jordan 11 “Bred”

With everything going on in the world, it seems like us catching a break is out of the question. In the first month of 2020 the sports world took the biggest hit with the loss of NBA legend Kobe Bryant, who was endorsed by Nike.

Out of all the hardships hitting the world, including the COVID-19 pandemic, Nike’s silver lining seems to be that their revenue has risen five percent all though the Coronavirus has affected their earnings per share as more and more stores begin to close. When looking at the numbers, Converse achieved an 11% increase with $506 million dollar revenues while the brand itself boosted 6% at a modest $9.6 billion dollars.

Much of the success was due to the Air Jordan 11 “Bred” which was the largest Nike launch in history. Although the popular Jordan Retro has garnered much success for Nike, the imprint will have much needed work to do as net income has decreased by 23%.
