New Balance is moving into a toning market with a pair of attractive shoes that has hidden balance technology. The purpose is to present, “Why walk when you can tone your body”, when you’re simply just walking or even doing your everyday chores. True Balance shoes promises 29% muscle activation and 10% calorie burn. Many women are getting intrigued with the idea of losing weight by these shoes from the percentages, but what if they percentages were lower. Would you still buy them? Even though, they have no proof of clinical studies. For that matter cannot promote health statistics. Notwithstanding, I believe that this advertisement is giving false acquisitions and is guaranteed a misleading advertisement.

Secondly, with idea of many women getting enticed with the percentages of calorie burn and muscle activation these shoes promise to give. I wanted to lower them and make them unfavorable to the audience of the advertisement. Thus, changing the muscle activation from 29% to -2%, calorie burn from 10% to 0.94%, and lastly the style from 100% to 50%. Thirdly, I put some information on the bottom on the bottom to inforce the product and get people to buy. After slowly reading it, I gave false information in tiny letters to make it harder to read, but gave it colors that were appealing and neutral colors.
