The BEAMS x Paperboy x New Balance 1500 “Cool Grey” is an exclusive iteration of the silhouette made in conjunction with the Japanese retailer and Paris-based café/lifestyle label, and it’s noted to be inspired by the stainless tools of the restaurant trade. With the runner flaunting an official color scheme of “Cool Grey/Starlight Blue-White,” the model’s overall aesthetic essentially elevates the signature New Balance Grey color scheme, while the application of white and blue provides a complementing finish, as well as symbolizing water in specific forms, ranging from steam to drinks. Lastly, its pigskin and synthetic nubuck construction is adhered atop a white/grey ENCAP midsole to round out the profile.
