For spring 2015 New Balance will debut the Flying the Flag collection, the latest Made in UK themed pack. The Made in UK Flying the Flag collection is available in the men’s classic 1500, 577 and CT300 models, hitting stores on February 1st. 

'The collection is inspired by the United Kingdom’s national flag, Union Jack, or Union Flag'

The flag consists of three crosses, representing three countries under one sovereign; the cross of St. George, patron saint of England; the cross saltire of St. Andrew, patron saint of Scotland; and the cross saltire of St. Patrick, patron saint of Northern Ireland. The Made in UK Flying the Flag collection’s colour story and material execution are inspired by the Union Jack flag.

Each shoe in the pack will come with a New Balance branded drawstring bag featuring the Union Jack and “Flying the Flag” text. The shoes are made from pigskin with a perforated pigskin vamp and collar. Additional distinguishing details include a “Flying The Flag” liner and the standard woven label to highlight Made in UK.
