New Balance continues to add to the Desert Scape pack of sneakers and the latest to join the range is the Made in England 1500 sneaker model. It features the sandy tonal palette, with barren brown fused with tan colors applied using only premium materials.
The heels are complete with dark and medium brown colors and the mudguards are complete with suede materials. The overlays feature leather accents and the toe box and throats are constructed using mesh for breathability. The quarter panel is done in white for a touch of contrast and uses crackled leather before detailed with dual tonal branding accents. The tongue is also complete in white leather, in a smooth finish.
