American Heritage-Honoring Shoes

New Balance's M1500GWR New Sneaker is a Bright Tri-Tonal Colorway

— March 10, 2020 — Fashion
New Balance introduces a new iteration of the iconic 1500 Made in England M1500GWR sneaker model following its previous understated options. This time around, the show is complete in a vibrant colorway with three standout hues making up the model.

The color palette is chosen to honor the brand's heritage and upbringing in America. The uppers have a white tongue with branding details adorned in red and blue. Branding accents are seen in the form of "MADE IN ENGLAND" and "New Balance" etched into the sneaker. The tonal laces are also bright across the forefoot area -- the rest of the show features a midsection with blue suede paneling. The signature "N" is in bright white against the blue for a standout contrast.
