New Balance's Newest 1500 Gets an Animal Pattern

Most of us probably only know the New Balance 1500 with a rather subtle and calm colourway. Now the comfortable lifestyle sneaker gets a fresh makeover that most of us have just been waiting for.

Most iterations come with rather subdued colours and a restrained colour-blocking scheme. This edition, also known as New Balance 1500 "Animal Pack", focuses on animal motifs, which cover most of the upper material.

Brown mesh, leather, and suede provide the basis for the safari vibes. The mudguard, which sits above the white ENCAP midsole, has a soft suede, while the heel is accentuated with smooth leather and a gold "1500". The side panels and collar, on the other hand, are the heart of this sneaker. Zebra and cheetah prints mix white, black, and golden colours.

The New Balance 1500 "Animal Pack" Will Be Released Soon

So far, an exact release date is not yet available. But the New Balance 1500 "Animal Pack" will be released by selected retailers like Sneaker District and costs 180€.
