New Balance – Japanimation CM1500

New Balance continues to release a strong line-up for 2010. The latest to hit the web is a general release of the New Balance 1500 in a some nice colorways. The release is inspired by Japanamation and the colorways, blue/blue/white and black/grey/pink, reflect that theme.

The uppers of both colorways are constructed of suede, nubuck and leather. The black/grey/pink colorway lets black dominate the design and apply slight accents of grey to the toe box and the heel tab. Pink is brought in as an afterthought and is displayed throughout the stitching on the shoe as well as laces and branding. The second pair is domintated with blue and trades out the leather toe box for one made of suede. Light blue plays as the accent color and can also be found on the stitching and laces. Finally, dashes of white can be found throughout the upper and also the base color for the midsole. Both shoes are set to hit shelves in April.
