Massachusetts New Balance accuses the US military of breaking its promise

According to the US Military Procurement Law Amendment Act (Berry Amendment), which was legislature in 1940s, military supplies must be produced and manufactured by the United States itself. But for many years, sports shoes were excluded from this regulation, mainly because of the lack of the choice of self made sports shoes in the United States.

The company originally expected to expect an annual order of about 200 thousand pairs of shoes from the military side, eager to increase staff production in existing factories in new England.

The Ministry of Defense said that the cost of 3 shoes provided by New Balance is higher than that of the budget, and that the 1 shoes do not meet the durability standards.

A spokesman for the US trade representative said.

The government supports the use of sports shoes in the army should be made in China, but New Balance should not oppose the TPP on the grounds that the military did not buy them sports shoes.
