Celebrating the 35th anniversary of the 1500 Series from New Balance, these sneakers are an elevated homage to the originals released in 1989. Luxurious nubuck overlays wrap breathable mesh uppers while the branding is embroidered throughout, taking inspiration from the original marketing for the logos on the tongue. Mesh Uppers, Premium Nubuck Overlays, ENCAP Midsoles, Custom '1500 Series' Sockliner, Lace Up Closure, Embroidered 'N' Logo and '1500' Text, Branded Tongue, New Balance. 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. This new design is modeled after the very first 1500. Featuring a premium synthetic nubuck that outstrips the limitations of the 1989 original. The design is rounded out with additional heritage inspired attention to detail, an open mesh window at the forefoot, and a classic grey and navy upper with contrast stitching.
