New Balance has long been celebrated for its commitment to craftsmanship and quality, particularly within its Made in USA and Made in UK lines. The Flimby, UK factory is a cornerstone of this legacy, consistently producing top-tier footwear. As part of its latest collection, Flimby introduces an all-new New Balance 1500 Made in UK in Rainforest. This premium sneaker combines high-quality materials with an exquisite color palette. Alongside this release, the factory has also crafted the New Balance 991v2 Made in UK Pink, expanding its lineup of exceptional footwear.

The New Balance 1500 Made in UK Rainforest, features a luxurious construction with a blend of pigskin suede and mesh. The upper is predominantly covered in a rich, deep green hue that evokes the lush, verdant rainforest imagery. Suede details are found on the mudguard, midfoot panel, and heel, while nubuck accents enhance the vamp and collar, providing a sophisticated textural contrast. Mesh serves as the base material, appearing on the toe box and tongue, with the upper portion of the tongue also featuring green nubuck for added elegance.

Navy accents bring a pop of color to the sneaker, highlighting the branding on the tongue tag, the 1500 text on the lateral heel, and the piping around the iconic N logo on the midfoot. The meticulous detailing continues underfoot, where a white, cream, and navy foam midsole offers comfort and support. The look is completed with a durable grey and black rubber outsole, ensuring style and functionality.
