New Balance 'Vintage Sports' Kombu Green and Sea Spray Made in UK 1500v1 Trainers

First introduced in 1989, the New Balance 1500 marked a decisive moment in performance footwear design, marrying technical innovation with a streamlined, assertive profile. Produced in Flimby as part of the brand’s esteemed Made in UK line, the 1500v1 remains a quietly confident presence decades on.

In this ‘Vintage Sports’ edition, the silhouette takes on a richly tonal character. Deep green pigskin suede overlays sit atop breathable mesh, creating depth and texture and retaining the shoe’s original athletic intent while reflective detailing nods to its performance pedigree.

Underfoot, ENCAP midsole cushioning provides dependable support and structure, paired with a durable rubber outsole for everyday wear. The result is a heritage runner that feels as relevant now as it did upon its debut.
