New Balance continues to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the 1500 with special releases, including the “Vintage Navy” edition. This Made in UK classic stays true to its heritage while incorporating subtle modern updates, keeping it a staple for collectors and everyday wearers alike.
The upper features a dark blue mesh base layered with navy suede overlays, delivering a mix of breathability and premium texture. Grey synthetic panels reinforce the forefoot and collar, adding structure without sacrificing flexibility. The signature embroidered “N” logos sit on the sidewalls, while a “1500” callout on the lateral foxing enhances the design’s authenticity. A “Made in England” label on the tongue completes the premium detailing, while the NB branding on the heel adds a finishing touch.
Comfort remains a priority. ENCAP cushioning combines lightweight foam with a durable polyurethane rim, ensuring a stable and comfortable stride. The rubber outsole provides grip and durability, making it suitable for daily wear. The blend of nubuck, mesh, and synthetic elements stays true to the original running-inspired design while embracing a timeless look.
Adding a vintage touch, red text branding pops against the navy base, staying consistent with New Balance’s signature styling. Whether you’re a long-time fan of the 1500 series or looking to add a classic to your rotation, this release delivers both history and everyday versatility.
