On 20 November, New Balance officially opened its doors at Somerset Mall in Cape Town, Western Cape. This location introduces our latest UCC retail concept, designed to place people at the heart of the experience. With central seating gestures and a layout that invites connection, the store encourages customers to gather, share inspiration, and explore their authentic style.

Located in the newly expanded wing of Somerset Mall, the store showcases the updated UCC concept and stands out as one of our most visually compelling environments to date.
