Ronnie Fieg and New Balance work in collaboration with the latest 1300L collection that takes on more contemporary angles of the RC_1300 and USA 1300 sneaker model. The latest series explores both modern and past design influences of the latter's signature footwear. Fieg has often expressed his appreciation of New Balance's CL and the latest explores that even further.
The RC_1300 sneaker takes on a color palette that features ocean hues such as blue at the mesh foundation before detailed with dark steel gray overlays with suede materials. The midfoot's 'N' branding detail is complete in a cream hue and outlined with blue so that it stands out. It sits on top of Vibram rubber outsoles for durability. The USA 1300 sneakers are also complete in a similar colorway with reflective branding.
