New Balance prices and markdowns
In Q2 2026, the average listed price of New Balance items at covered US online retailers was $90, 3% higher than in Q2 2025, and 16% of in-stock New Balance SKUs were marked down, down from 22% a year earlier.
How it is measured
- Average listed price is the average price shown for the brand's in-stock items across Data Purl's covered US online retailers, over the quarter. It is an average across the items listed, so it moves when the range changes as well as when prices change; where the range changed too much for a like-for-like reading, the change is not shown.
- Markdown breadth is the share of in-stock SKUs selling below full price, averaged over the quarter.
- Both come from Data Purl's Ticker Analytics brand series, are rounded to whole percentages and are published once a quarter, one quarter in arrears.
