Dropping just once every five years, the New Balance 1300JP returns for this year’s Grey Days: Originally released in 1985, the New Balance 1300 was a revelation: a luxury running shoe built with premium materials, breathable mesh, and cushioning that felt like nothing else on the market. Fast forward to 2025, and not much has changed, in the best way possible.
Made in Skowhegan, Maine, the pair carries the hallmarks of true craftsmanship: Sitting atop comfortable ENCAP midsole cushioning, the shoes boast premium nubuck overlays, a leather-lined collar and contrasting mesh elements. A woven tongue label, hand-stitched details, and special edition packaging nodding to the OG box from 1985 round out the cult favorite.
The New Balance Made in USA 1300JP releases at BSTN on Thursday, May 29th. Pick up your pair via the button below!
