Not all great sneakers need to shout about it. Just ask the upcoming New Balance 1300 Made in USA White. First released in 1985, the 1300 is, without question, one of the Boston brand’s most iconic silhouettes. And now that it’s turning 40 this year, it’s making waves once again with ultra clean, versatile color combos like this one.
The White edition of the 1300 sits on top of a breathable mesh base, layered with buttery pigskin suede that feels as premium as it looks. An oversized “N” logo adorns the sidewalls in smooth grey leather, while a “1300”-branded tag graces the tongue, completing the understated yet instantly recognizable design.
The midsole is fitted with NB’s signature ENCAP cushioning, balancing plush comfort with dependable support, and wrapped in a rugged polyurethane rim for long-lasting durability. If things look a little different compared to the iconic 1300JP, you've got a great eye. NB produces that model once every 5 years, recreating the original 1985 version of the 1300 in a 1:1 fashion, but the modern version swaps the tooling.
Underfoot, the outsole is grippier than ever, meaning whether you’re popping to the store, heading downtown, or chasing your 10K PB, these will have your back. And if that wasn’t enough, the pair is proudly crafted in New Balance’s factories right here in the USA – a true testament to the company’s legacy of quality, craftsmanship, and enduring heritage.
The New Balance 1300 Made in USA White is scheduled to release sometime in 2025. It’ll be available via New Balance and select retailers both online and in-store in men’s sizing. Want a pair?
