Not all great sneakers need to shout about it. Just ask the upcoming New Balance 1300 Made in USA White. First released in 1985, the 1300 is, without question, one of the Boston brand’s most iconic silhouettes. And now that it’s turning 40 this year, it’s making waves once again with ultra clean, versatile color combos like this one.
The White edition of the 1300 sits on top of a breathable mesh base, layered with buttery pigskin suede that feels as premium as it looks. An oversized “N” logo adorns the sidewalls in smooth grey leather, while a “1300”-branded tag graces the tongue, completing the understated yet instantly recognizable design.
