Editor’s Notes: Having relaunched its famous 1300JP model to much fanfare, New Balance has teamed up with ubiquitous jeans brand Levi's on a denim-clad version of the same sneaker, the Levi‘s x New Balance M1300CL. The Cone Mills White Oak XX52 denim, which is used as the base of the sneaker’s upper, has increased in rarity since White Oak’s closing, making this a limited release made of limited edition materials.
The sneaker was supposed to be released on March 26, though that was delayed to April 24 due to coronavirus.
