New Balance’s special made-in-the-UK models are known for two things: their impeccable quality and keen attention to detail. They’re sneakers seemingly constructed with the touch of a lifelong cobbler, truly luxurious creations that harken back to a different time in footwear. They’re also an important part of NB’s lifestyle offerings season after season, and now the latest pair to arrive to market is a New Balance 1500, done up in a refined combo of black and brown. Smooth black suede meets buttery brown leather on the upper, while light brown mesh underlays provide exemplary contrast. Grey accents — on both the leather tongue and the two-tone midsole — round off the detailing, and New Balance’s patent ENCAP technology ensure that this 1500 feels as good as it looks. If you want to add a pair of these carefully crafted kicks to your rotation, they’re available now at New Balance stockists like Sneaker Politics for $220 USD.
