Wider availability of the 1500 is just one of several pieces of evidence pointing to New Balance doing it right in 2012, and today we have a preview of five pairs expected for teh second half of next year. Joining the two New Balance 1500 ‘Made in England’ colorways we previewed about two weeks ago are three more from the Flimby Factory, including one that offers a reprisal of last summer’s ‘Gun Metal Grey’ leather getup, but with more tonal variation this time around. Add in two suede makeups in the same unbeatable colorblocking pattern as last fall’s crimson and plum pair, this time around in rich navy and forest green colors perfect for cold weather months. Check out all five after the jump and stick with Sneaker News for news on US release dates. via EUKicks
