New Balance introduces a new iteration of the iconic 1500 Made in England silhouette with a grayscale option prepared for the Autumn season. The shoe was originally introduced as a performance sneaker over 30 years ago and has been one of the most progressive silhouettes since its time.
The latest update keeps the original technology of the shoe and updates it with a few shades of gray along with some touches of blue that can be seen around the N logo marking the medial side of the footwear. It also sits on top of the iconic New Balance ENCAP technology and complete with the TPU stabilizer for ultimate cushioning and stability for comfort to last over long periods of time.
