Another season, another fresh batch of Made in USA hotness from Teddy Santis.

Bringing in the ALD head to helm the seasonal collection for the Boston brand has been a resounding success, making each capsule appointment viewing for the brand’s dedicated fanbase. While the offerings within have highlighted silhouettes that eventually became widespread propositions even outside of those bounds, the New Balance 1300 has been a special case. Outside of select collab or narrative-laden projects, it’s been restricted to the SS / FW cadence, again making an appearance with the New Balance 1300 Made in USA “Drift Red.” Part and parcel of the summery tones of interest in this first delivery of 2026, it breaks from type by dousing the laidback model in shaggy peach suede with yellow trim, rounded out by solid white patches in the collar, laces, heel counter, and sole unit.

The New Balance 1300 Made in USA “Drift Red” releases April 30th with a $205 retail price attached.
