New Balance’s Made in USA lineup for Fall/Winter 2026 rolls on with the New Balance 1300 “Sea Salt” on September 10th, an evergreen take on one of the Boston brand’s hallmark MiUSA silhouettes featuring some noteworthy textural treatments.

The overlays, “N” logos, and backtab are cut from embossed pigskin featuring a somewhat reptilian, croc-like texture, practically unnoticeable from afar but adding an unmistakably luxe element when examined up close. The bulk of the sneaker takes on New Balance’s hallmark Sea Salt color, save for Blue Oyster hits on the “N” logos and backtab and a maroon-colored Mulled Wine interior.
