TLDR: The New Balance 1500 ‘Cork’ features a natural beige suede finish with high-quality materials and classic British craftsmanship. The retro runner will be released on 20 January 2026 for €230. As always, more information is available at Grailify. The latest colourway of the New Balance 1500 is called ‘Cork’ – matching the warm beige tones that cover the high-quality pig suede overlays. The upper is combined with elephant-textured leather, dark grey Dark Gull mesh in the toe area and a clean white inner lining for classic retro charm. White embroidery on the midfoot ‘N’ and heel emphasise the minimalist look.
As always, the Made in the UK classic relies on proven technology: the ENCAP midsole provides cushioning and stability, while the combination of suede, mesh and synthetic inserts remains both durable and comfortable. The subtle colour palette, paired with finely tuned materials, makes this 1500 the ideal everyday sneaker with collector's potential.
