The New Balance 1500BPW represents another collab with Solebox, and is considered the most iconic of all the Solebox collabs. The 1500BPW is known as the “Purple Devil” and part of a pack that included the New Balance 575 and 576, all with the “dipped toe” color blocking. The 1500BPW also included custom lace jewels featuring the Solebox logo. Additionally, the 1500BPW introduced what would become known as the “Solebox sole” with a fully white midsole and gum outsole.
