A bit past halfway through 2025, there’s been a number of new faces that the Boston brand has introduced us to: the New Balance 2010, the New Balance ABZORB 2000, the cresting New Balance 204L. When it comes to their “Made In” series, however, we’ve more or less come to recognize a select number of models that’ll get the premium treatment. Just when we thought we had them figured out, New Balance is throwing a curveball: queuing up the 1300 for a “Harbor Grey” edition.

Though the silhouette already made a “Grey Days” appearance earlier in the year, we had imagined it was one largely dictated by the calendar; crashing in for its ultra-luxurious “Made in JP” edition that only drops twice a decade. In truth, perhaps that moment was just a signal of things to come. Bearing “New Balance Classic” branding on its tongue, the shoe here aims at tackling its everlasting appeal as an everyday runner, fittingly rocking a grey-heavy look that’s become a brand trademark and can be credibly compared to the equally everlasting New Balance 574.

Whatever the hopes New Balance has behind this “Harbor Grey” version of the 1300, it’s set to touch down for the Fall/Winter 2025 season. If the aforementioned Japan-crafted version induced sticker shock, rest assured this one will be far more cost-cognizant, but a hard retail price eludes us for the moment.
