Before the 40th Anniversary of New Balance’s Flimby factory comes to an end, where majority of their Made in UK releases are manufactured, the brand is getting ready to launch their latest 991 model inspired by the Donkey Jacket, one of the mainstays of British workwear.

New Balance 997 Homme Chaussures new balance 1500 steel blue features a fuzzy Harris Tweed textured wool as the base with premium leather overlays. Most of the shoe is dressed in Black paired with Grey detailing completed with its signature cushioned ABZORB 1500v6.

Look for this new balance 1500 steel blue to release on December 14th at select EU retailers and soon on NewBalance.com.
