The New Balance 1300 returns to the Made in USA rotation, continuing the legacy of a model that debuted in 1985. As the first in the 1000 series, the 1300 set a standard for comfort and design. It introduced ENCAP midsole technology, combining foam with a polyurethane rim for cushioning and stability. This version updates the original with a rubber outsole featuring a tread pattern for flexibility and XAR-1000 carbon rubber in the heel for abrasion resistance.
