New Balance Retros Two Sought-After Shoes

Raise your hand if you remember these 1500s.

Anyone who follows New Balance fan accounts on Instagram should recognize these two 1500 colorways from 2006 as ones longtime collectors fawn over. The only thing is, these aren't the 2006 pairs: the brand is bringing both back ten years later.

The two 2016 shoes come from the brand's U.K. factory in Flimby, meaning a higher quality and price point (Shops like Hanon will sell them for £125).

Will the sneakers be difficult to buy given the cult following they have? 1500s have been going on sale pretty regularly as of late, so it doesn't seem like these are going to disappear from shelves too quickly.

Readers can watch for these New Balance retros to return to sneaker stores this summer.
