The New Balance Made in USA 1300 JP are finally back
New Balance Made in USA 1300 JP: when we talk about these sneakers, the minds of all sneakerheads think of something quite rare in the world of footwear. Why? Very simple: these New Balance 1300 Japan have a release set once every five years. Let's discover together all the details of this unmissable drop in the world of streetwear, focusing on its history, its features, and the official release date.
History of the New Balance Made in USA 1300 JP
The 1300 Made in USA Japan are shoes of such exceptional quality that it was necessary to break the unwritten rules of advertising when they were launched on the market in 1985. They were promoted, in fact, with a slogan inviting future buyers to "mortgage their house" by listing all the technological details of the sneaker in question. In a 1985 review, the 1300 was described as a "Rolls Royce for the feet," highlighting how even then this New Balance represented the perfect compromise between luxury, technology, and performance.
In 1995, exactly ten years after the first release, New Balance created a reissue of the M1300 as faithful as possible to the original, still Made in USA and exclusively for the Japanese market. This limited edition of New Balance, produced once every five years starting from 2000, uses the model code 1300JP referring to Japan, the country where the sneaker achieved worldwide success. The same colorway, Mirage Gray with State Blue details, is reproduced in limited numbers as it is a limited edition.
Where are the New Balance Made in USA 1300 JP produced?
As the name of these legendary sneakers suggests, the New Balance Made in USA 1300 JP are crafted with artisanal care in the United States. These New Balance sneakers have had a unique impact on the footwear world because they set a new standard for running parameters and feature an attractive silhouette. While the colorway with blue details already calls back to classic nylon running shoes, the real revolution lies in the materials: the Made in USA 1300JP were the first sneakers made with premium nubuck leather and a full-length ENCAP sole. Completing the design are a black rubber sole, a white leather inner lining, and a tongue featuring a woven label with the inscription “1300.” Each pair is also sold in special packaging that faithfully pays tribute to the original box, making the experience even more nostalgic and refined.
When will the New Balance Made in USA 1300 JP be released in 2025?
For the big fans of the New Balance limited edition, the wait is almost over. The American sneaker and apparel brand has confirmed that the official drop of the Made in USA 1300 JP is set for May 29, 2025. You will be able to purchase them on our website Urbanstaroma.com or in stores in Rome.
