New Balance's 1500 ‘London Marathon' is Ready to Run

The 2025 London Marathon takes place this weekend, bringing one of the world’s most prestigious long-distance races back to the streets of the capital. Now in its 44th year, the event continues to draw elite athletes, club runners, and first-timers alike. As an official sponsor, are marking the occasion through its Made in UK division. Alongside performance gear, the brand is releasing a limited-edition 1500 silhouette, continuing its tradition of commemorating the 26.2-miler with pieces from its Flimby factory.

Sticking to a refined look, the soon-to-debut edition pairs a mostly black upper with select hits of red and a stitched callout to the host city on the heel, tying the design back to its marathon roots. Other details include a tricolour 'N' logo and insoles that read 'You've got this' for a touch of inspiration.

In fairness, the 2025 edition takes a more understated approach compared to previous race-inspired releases, which often featured vibrant, all-over patterns. Underfoot, a reliable sole unit – originally developed for running back in 1989 – offers a classic finish that grounds the design in tradition.

Get ready to gear up. The New Balance MADE in UK 1500 'London Marathon' is set to land on April 27, exclusively via the New Balance webstore.
