New Balance 1500 Anniversary Made in UK

Celebrating a milestone anniversary, the Made in UK New Balance 1500 marks 35 years of exceptional craftsmanship and timeless style. Designed by legendary footwear designer Steven Smith, the New Balance 1500 has been a staple of quality and design since its inception. As part of the revered Made In series, which showcases the pinnacle of New Balance's manufacturing capabilities in the US and UK, the 1500 has consistently represented the brand's commitment to excellence. In 2024, New Balance honors this iconic model with a special 35th anniversary edition, made in the Flimby factory, renowned for producing some of the best sneakers globally.

This anniversary edition revisits the classic silhouette with a new perspective on materials and colors. It features an updated material composition, which replaces the standard synthetic with premium nubuck for the overlays, elevating the sneaker's luxurious feel and look. The sneaker retains its iconic grayscale color scheme, a nod to the brand's heritage and the model's enduring appeal.

The N logo, 1500 text and beloved Made in England branding are all meticulously placed, affirming the sneaker's pedigree and attention to detail. Resting underneath is a gray midsole, detailed with dark blue accents surrounding ENCAP branding near the heel, which pairs perfectly with the tonal gray outsole.
