While New Balance’s seasonal Made in USA lineup is often highlighted by staples like the 990v4, 992, and 993, a true hidden gem is making its return this season. The Made in USA 1300 is back in the form of the U13007PT "Slate Grey," crafted from premium slate grey leather and scheduled to release on June 11.

The New Balance Made in USA U1300PT "Slate Grey" delivers a subtle yet premium aesthetic. The upper is crafted almost entirely from premium slate grey leather, extending from the toe box to the heel, while cream-toned mesh on the toe box adds texture and contrast. Elevating the luxurious look further, the signature "N" logo is finished in light grey hairy suede, while the collar is wrapped in cream hairy suede, creating a rich mix of materials that adds depth and texture to the overall design. To further enhance the look, the heel tab is dressed in carbon black leather, introducing subtle contrast while complementing the shoe’s tonal colour palette.
