New Balance has announced that U.S. and LOSC Lille star Tim Weah has signed a multi-year sponsorship deal with the brand.
Born and raised in Brooklyn, NY, Tim is one of America’s brightest prospects in global football, having crafted his skills in both the U.S. and European football academies.
A creative force on and off-pitch, Tim has represented his country at every level, making his debut for the USMNT against Paraguay at age 17.
The former Golden Boy nominee joins New Balance in scintillating form as a key member of the exciting LOSC Lille team that lifted France’s Ligue 1 title last season.
Tim has the most European league titles for an American, having won trophies at Paris Saint-Germain F.C., Celtic F.C. and LOSC Lille last season.
From Parisian street style to New York music culture to Liberian iconography, Tim shows he is a true international star.
An admitted sneakerhead, Tim will work with New Balance across football and lifestyle campaigns globally, utilizing that passion for music, art and fashion.
Drawing inspiration from the places he has called home, Tim bases his play and personal style on those international influences. In addition, New Balance and Tim will work 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”.
