Introducing the New Balance 1500
First released in 1989, the New Balance 1500 was designed by Steven Smith and was the first model in the 1000 series to incorporate ENCAP technology, offering enhanced cushioning and stability for runners.
The 1500 features a timeless silhouette with a mesh and suede upper, providing both breathability and comfort. It's recognized for its sleek design and the distinctive, yet more understated, smaller "N" logo on the side.
Today, the 1500 stands as a flagship model for New Balance’s factory in Flimby, Cumbria, UK, with many pairs proudly labeled "Made in the UK."
