Taking time away from the collaborative initiatives for a quick second, New Balance calls back our attention towards their Made in England ancestry to introduce the newest version of their 1500 silhouette. Adding one more member to their 2020 “Animal Pack”, the Boston-based imprint instead styles this iteration with a more greyscale motif and arrives with decor more or less pronounced than its last appearance. Uppers are primarily hued in stark black as mesh and suede paneling composes its base, and are joined next to mid-foot overlays that combine hairy white/black patterns relative to zebra stripes and Dalmatian dog spots. Moreover, the rear midsoles, “N” logos, and tongue/heel embroidery proceed along with its neutral thematics by keeping accents to a silvery tone. If you’re in the market for another lifestyle option to add to your wardrobe, these are available now at select New Balance retailers for $220 USD.
