Editor’s Notes: New Balance will soon be releasing two wild new colorways of the 1500. Optioned in brown and black iterations, the sneaker is decorated in animal print across the upper.

New Balance debuted the 1500 in 1989 as a performance runner. Since then, however, the silhouette has become more of a lifestyle favorite, subjected to intricate construction techniques similar to what we see here.
