New Balance Sends The 1500 To Japan For Its 35th Anniversary

New Balance continues to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the 1500 silhouette with special releases. Following a grey anniversary colorway back in April, New Balance is sending the traditionally “Made In UK” model to Japan for a touch-up by the hands of its local artisan partners at M.Lab.

The upper features locally sourced nubuck and smooth leather, both of which are taken in the Boston brand’s hallmark light grey hue. Blue paneling stretches around the forefoot and quarter, while soft yellow stitching is utilized on all the branded elements. In adding uniqueness without over-disrupting the aesthetic that made the 1500 famous, New Balance touches down with a smaller “N” logo and larger “1500” text than usual, both of which are taken in the pale yellow accent shade.

The New Balance 1500 Made In Japan “35th Anniversary” will release in limited quantities on November 28th via New Balance Japan and the New Balance Harajuku store. Retail is set at ¥79,200, which translates to about $520. New Balance will also be giving away an indigo-dyed colorway (seen in the gallery below) to three myNB members who have achieved platinum rewards program status. Stay tuned for further details as the drop looms closer.
