In December 2013, Saint Alfred, a retailer based in Chicago, partnered with New Balance to introduce a collaborative version of the 1500 sneaker. This iteration of the iconic retro silhouette showcases a blend of materials, such as a ballistic mesh foundation, overlays made of hairy suede, and a leather collar, all exquisitely adorned in a vibrant red shade. The monochromatic upper is complemented by a striking white midsole, which is further reinforced by a resilient gum rubber outsole. Adding a personalized touch, the custom red sockliner features the Saint Alfred logo.
