New Balance’s Flimby factory has come out of the gate swinging in 2026, teeing up multiple fresh colorways of both the 991v2 and the iconic 1500.

The latter Made in England silo here takes on a beige “Cork” colorway, with the titular hue materializing through suede overlays featuring white stitched branding. Elephant Skin leather underlays pair with Dark Gull on the mesh toe box and leather collar, while white lining makes for easy styling with white ankle socks if you’re looking to fully lean into that “dad shoe” vibe.

The New Balance 1500 “Cork” is already available at END. Clothing and should soon see a wider release through New Balance channels. See official retailer images below and stay tuned for further updates.
