New Balance 1300

First released in 1984, the New Balance 1300 went on to become a cultural phenomenon in Japan. The sneaker encapsulates the brand’s signature heritage aesthetic, colliding materials such as suede and mesh across the upper. An ENCAP-cushioned midsole is supported by a tread outsole. Traditional “N” branding hits the lateral and medial panels, while the New Balance wordmark adorns the heel tab.
