Andrew Rizzo While mass-produced models like the 550 and 1906R have made New Balance one of the fastest-growing sneaker brands of the current era, the most dedicated New Balance heads know that their true strength lies in their running and “Made In USA/UK” divisions. Honing in on Flimby; the Boston brand’s “Made In UK” line has been hitting all the right notes this year, led chiefly by the New Balance 991v2 while longstanding models continue surfacing at a consistent pace.
Now with eyes towards the colder months, the Boston brand is releasing a fresh New Balance 1500 with an assortment of dark, season-appropriate shades. Buttery suede overlays set the stage, taken in “Granite” this time around. The tongue and collar introduce navy blue and red in a sensible nod to UK flag colors, with the mesh toe box and rear portion of the midsole also coming in blue. Far and away the most notable feature is carbon fiber near the forefoot and toe box, conjuring a somewhat industrial aesthetic. Otherwise, white New Balance logos and 1500 text cap off the delivery.
Shown via official images below, the New Balance 1500 Granite is poised to release on October 3rd via New Balance and retailers. Scroll through the gallery below and tap our Sneaker Release Dates page to preview more upcoming shoes out of Flimby.
