The New Balance 1500 is a classic running shoe that has been a staple of the fashion scene since it first launched in 1989. Known for its lightweight construction, the New Balance 1500 is a good option to check out if you want functionality and performance while at the same time maintaining style.
Like most silhouettes on the New Balance collection, the upper of the New Balance 1500 is constructed with a combination of synthetic materials, such as lightweight breathable mesh and supportive overlays which are strategically placed to provide a secure and supportive fit as well as allow airflow and ventilation. It features a seamless construction to enhance comfort by reducing any possible irritation to your foot. The midsole is also well constructed with its responsive cushioning technologies that strike a good balance between cushioning and energy return to maximize comfort and performance. This is achieved through the use of materials such as REVlite foam, which offers a lightweight and responsive feel underfoot. The outsole on the other hand, is made from a rubber compound and has a patterned tread for durability and traction respectively.
It is worth noting that different iterations of the New Balance 1500 have varying designs although most of them seem to share common characteristics such as branding with the iconic ‘N’ plastered on both side panels, the New Balance logo on the outer heel area and the number 1500 slightly above the ankle. Some of the ones you can check out are the fan favorites New Balance 1500 Cobra Tan Orange which were released in November 2021.
