1500 Release Dates

The New Balance 1500 originally released in 1989 with Steven Smith as the leading designer. The 1500 was intended to be a multi-sport shoe, specifically used for basketball and tennis— the 1500’s unique design is completed with a tiny “N” logo on the upper. Smith’s 1500 silhouette is one of the flagship New Balances produced at the Flimby, Cumbria, factory in the United Kingdom. Browse popular New Balance 1500 collaborations and colorways here.
