TLDR: The New Balance 1300 Made in USA ‘Slate Grey’ brings back pure 80s running nostalgia. High-quality materials, Teddy Santis vibes and classic Made in USA quality make this retro runner a real ‘IYKYK’ pair – releasing on 11 June for €210. The New Balance 1300 is one of the brand’s absolute cult silhouettes, even if many would mistake it for a 574 at first glance. It is precisely this understated nature that has made the 1300 so popular for decades – especially among true NB fans.
The new ‘Slate Grey’ version is all about vintage aesthetics. Grey pebbled leather overlays meet off-white mesh and hairy suede on the collar and the iconic ‘N’ logos. Added to this are exposed foam details on the tongue and a classic 1300 tag that could have come straight from the 80s.
As usual, the pair comes from the Made in USA line under Teddy Santis and delivers correspondingly strong craftsmanship and high-quality materials. In terms of colour, the trainer remains pleasantly neutral and pairs perfectly with minimalist looks and classic New Balance outfits.
Underfoot, the signature ENCAP cushioning continues to provide the comfortable running feel that has defined the 1300 for over four decades.
