New Balance 1500

Selected the 21 July 2011 by Romano as "the garagerocker"

Undoubtedly, New Balance is the king of the vintage running sneaker. The brand constantly reissues its mythic models in a large color palette. Today, let us present a classic model firstly released in 1989 : the 1500 running sneaker coming in two colorways : a purple one called “Plum”, and a red one called “Chianti”.

What appealed us is mainly the particular color given by the use of a suede leather for both of them emphasizing their retro aspect. Then, the effect of a very thick sole is weakened by a willowy curved line dividing the shoes’ body and sole from heel to toes, and giving them a dynamic shape. We really like the combo : suede leather/upper mesh/classic sole, and an impeccable coating. Of course they are well coated! We are talking about “made in England” collector edition shoes, justifying a quite expensive retail price..
