Michael Le Even though many only have eyes for the 327, it’s far from New Balance‘s best silhouette. Among a wide range, the 1300 undoubtedly stands as one of the Boston brand’s most pivotal icons, its releases slow but well-appreciated by long-time fans. And now, after a little too many of the aforementioned, the retro silhouette will be returning in a simple “Cloud White” arrangement.
What ensues is a scheme reminiscent of the brand’s usual grey, though it’s tweaked quite a bit lighter in shade. The colorway even removes the oft-implemented red accents, the heel stabilizer and sole now dyed monochromatic just like the rest of the construction. This arrangement of suede and mesh remains premium like its predecessor, the latter doused in a desaturated grey while the former complements with vintage-esque yellowing. Elsewhere, reflective “N” logos furnish the side, woven labels sport their usual branding, and the “New Balance” at the heel tab types in black font.
Grab a detailed look at this upcoming 1300 here and sit tight as they’re to release soon at select retailers and likely NewBalance.com.
