Celebrating the 35th birthday of a signature Flimby-made model, New Balance's Made in UK lineage presents its latest 1500 design. Drawing inspiration from early blueprints, this anniversary edition is clad in premium nubuck that's underlaid with mesh. An ENCAP midsole offers lightweight cushioning to each step, but the finishing touches come from the custom '1500 Series' printed sockliner, embroidered 'Made in England' logo at the tongue, and special edition packaging. The MADE in UK ‘1500 Series’ celebrates the 35th anniversary of a signature Flimby-produced model. While the unmistakable design of the 1500 is a style fixture now, when the shoe first launched in 1989, it represented the state of the art in running shoe performance. This anniversary edition takes inspiration from some of these early 1500 styles. Luxurious, premium nubuck overlays are paired with a classic mesh upper and synthetic detailing. ‘1500 Series’ text, inspired by the model’s original marketing, features at the sockliner and on custom, special-edition packaging.
