New Balance is a brand I've loved dearly for my whole life.

And as if I couldn't love them more, they're now an official sponsor of the MIB Media Network.

And as it turns out, I'm not the only elite footballer they're sponsoring these days.

Bikai Osaka, Hendrik, Eberichieze, Jeremy Frimpong, legendary Hamas Rodriguez and our own beloved Tim Weyer.

They're all riding with New Balance these days.

We're the biggest summer in soccer, fast approaching.

I can't wait to see their incredible footballers paid their path on the world's biggest stage.

Whether it's Hendrik, cutting up opponents in his Tekela's or Bacca,

banging goals left and right in his furons we're here
