The New Balance 1500 “Blood Orange” is Coming Soon

New Balance continues to impress with its "Made In UK" series, consistently delivering exceptional craftsmanship and eye-catching designs. The New Balance 1500 is no exception, especially as it celebrates its 35th anniversary. For its following, New Balance is set to debut in a bold "Blood Orange" color scheme, a fitting pair for fall, not spring.

This latest iteration uses a generous amount of hairy suede in the bold, titular "Blood Orange" shade across the toe, quarter, and heel. This choice imbues the sneaker with a street-ready aesthetic that's hard to miss. Soft blue panels on the forefoot beautifully complement the vivid orange. At the same time, black elements at the toe box, collar, and tongue provide a grounding contrast that ensures the brighter colors truly pop without overwhelming the design.

Beneath, the sneaker features a multi-colored rubber sole in earthy tones of tan, black, and grey—echoing the hues of the laces and lining for a cohesive look that resonates with current sneaker trends.

Europeans can look forward to snagging a pair on May 9th, though details regarding a broader global release remain under wraps for now.
