New Balance is tossing the greys aside and chilling out with something fresher—the New Balance 1500 Made in UK “Ashley Blue”.

Originally born in 1989, the 1500 has always walked the line between sport and style. But now? It’s strolling straight into cool dad territory—with style. Think vintage runner vibes, but make it fashion.

This “Ashley Blue” edition features smooth suede overlays in a calming blue hue, matched with clean white mesh underlays. Add navy accents for some drama, and boom—you’ve got one good-looking sneaker that screams class, not sass.

Made in Flimby, England, this pair isn’t just another pretty upper. It features ENCAP midsole cushioning, which means it’s ready for all-day flexin’ without foot regret. Whether you’re sidewalk strolling or café posting, you’re walking on clouds (well, stylish ones).

You can cop the New Balance 1500 Made in UK “Ashley Blue” right now for $240 USD. It’s available exclusively at NewBalance.com—so no need to hunt resale sites like a sneaker pirate.
