The New Balance 1500 Made in England Returns in Classic Navy

As New Balance celebrates the 35th anniversary of its iconic 1500 model, expect to see this silhouette playing a pivotal role in the brand's lineup for 2024. After surfacing in vibrant "Green Oasis" and "Blood Orange" colorways, the silhouette returns in a classic Navy/Grey aesthetic, perfect for such a significant milestone.

It features buttery navy suede overlays on a matching mesh base, a color scheme that has become one of the most iconic and recognizable in New Balance's collection. Navy is a staple in their broader catalog and particularly prominent in the "Made In" series, echoing the heritage-rich cuts of models like the New Balance 990 series, 992, and 993.

Accents of grey on the tongue, collar, and lining contribute to a balanced and appealing palette. These are complemented by grey leather across the forefoot and additional grey accents on the midsole, creating a sophisticated and timeless look. This essential makeup, combined with the somewhat limited nature of New Balance 1500 releases recently, makes this shoe a particularly appealing choice for fans of heritage-rich footwear.

While pairs are currently available overseas, details regarding a stateside release remain unconfirmed. New Balance fans should stay alert for updates on a U.S. launch.
