New Balance’s MADE series has been dropping low-key hits all year long, celebrating their most beloved and innovative shoes with premium colorways. This week’s release highlights the 1500, literally, in a bright neon orange construction.
Today’s most popular New Balance shoes include some of the brand’s most important sneakers in its 114-year history, like 1989’s 1500. Designed by footwear legend Steven Smith, who has contributed to sneaker history time and time again with brands like New Balance, adidas, and Nike, the 1500 was a pivotal silhouette for the Boston brand. Introduced as a long-distance runner built for stability, the 1500 became so popular as an everyday shoe due to its comfort that even after its technology became outdated, New Balance kept producing the original. Now, the silhouette is celebrated through special projects and collaborations, most frequently via the New Balance MADE program, which produces small runs of extremely high-quality shoes in their factories in the United Kingdom and the United States. The latest release quite literally highlights the 1500 almost entirely in neon orange, save for a few layers of black pigskin suede to break up the color blocking.
