Purchased from an authorized European retailer.
These UK-made pink beige 1500s are not available in Japan.
The product itself is a beautiful new item, but upon close inspection, the upper and lower colors of the embroidery on the left and right tongues are reversed, making it a rare (irregular) item.
You probably wouldn't notice it during normal use, but it's a product that gives you a unique sense of rebellion, like an "Edokko" (a person from Tokyo). Perfect for those who like asymmetry.

In 1989, the "1500" was a masterpiece that showed a new direction in the running shoe world as the second model in the "NEW BALANCE" 1000 series. It is said that it was developed instead of the "1400", which was developed earlier but whose release was postponed due to the difficulty of mass production at the time. The design was created by "STEVEN SMITH," a legendary designer who worked on iconic models such as the "574," "576," and "996," as well as other brands such as "INSTAPUMP FURY" and the later "YEEZY" series. The latest technologies of the time, such as the integrated midsole and "ENCAP" structure, were combined to achieve both lightness and outstanding cushioning. The sharp and streamlined lines are used, and the "N" logo on the side is expressed with small embroidery to emphasize the sense of speed and sophistication. The high quality of "Made in UK" produced in the factory in Flimby, Cumbria, England, where skilled craftsmen gather, continues to be a great attraction.
