Celebrating a legacy, New Balance's Made in UK lineage release the classic 1500 to celebrate its 35th anniversary. Plush neutrally-shaded nubuck overlays and grey leather detailing sits atop breathable mesh foundations. Underfoot, an EVA midsole and ENCAP cushioning ensure comfort, while MIUK branding confirms authenticity on the tongue. The original M1500, released in 1989, made an immediate impact with a combination of bold visual design and a serious technological pedigree. Today, the 1500 still stands out as a signature style from the MADE in UK range. The MADE in UK 1500's substantial, late '80s era proportions are outfitted in a classic pigskin suede and mesh combination, for a statement piece that's easy to wear everyday.
