New Balance wants to be known for more than its sneakers, and it has tapped 17 athletes to help make that happen. The Boston-based brand has evolved into a full-blown athletics company, it says, one that innovates and manufactures products based on athletes' needs. And that's what its new campaign from Arnold in Boston highlights, using the tech-influenced tagline "Always in Beta." 

The campaign debuts today online, in print and on social media. While centering a campaign around the idea that there's always room for improvement—especially with consumers' bodies—seems par for the course with an athletics brand.
