In September 2012, Hanon, a sneaker retailer based in Scotland, collaborated with New Balance for the eighth time to create a special sneaker called the Hanon x 1500 'Chosen Few'. This unique design pays homage to the New Balance factory located in Cumbria, Northern England, which is represented by embroidered stitching on the tongue. With a predominantly navy color scheme, the sneaker features a high-quality pigskin suede and mesh upper, ensuring both style and durability. Additionally, the shoe boasts a lightweight EVA midsole and a rubber outsole, providing optimal comfort and long-lasting wear.
