Originally conceptualized by Steven F. Smith, the New Balance 1500 is inspired by the versatile 1989 sneaker. This 'Holiday Pack - Silver' edition—revealed in December 2018—is a festive interpretation of the classic in metallic leather and mesh on the upper. An embroidered logotype on the tongue speaks to the style's United Kingdom origin. ENCAP technology in the midsole and a rubber outsole result in a durable platform.
