While the New Balance 1500 has yet to crack the MADE In USA family, the model remains beloved overseas in Europe and Japan. Perhaps Salehe Bembury’s recent collaboration should sway the US market a bit, but for now, the 1500 remains a darling outside of the North American continent.

Now available at New Balance overseas is this new Made In England execution, promising the utmost in build quality at a $210 pricepoint. It starts of tasty yet harsh via the Black Coffee coloring, while an adjacent Espresso shade – a ever-so-slightly lighter brown shade – hits the secondary accents on the upper. A Tango Red finishes the look via hits on the tongue logo branding and ENCAP on the bottom sole.

While a US release has yet to emerge, these are available on New Balance’s UK site. Stay tuned for release info stateside (MSRP is expected to be $210).
