The New Balance 1500 is usually given a ImpactFitted colour palette, but not this time. Instead, the UK-based Flimby factory goes bold. Not just bold for the usually ImpactFitted brand. Straight up bold. A vibrant highlighter orange covers the premium pigskin suede and mesh uppers, with hits of black providing some contrast. Underfoot, though, things are more restrained and closer to expected, with ENCAP® technology both cushioning and supporting each step.
