New Balance has launched a UAE-exclusive 1080v15 sneaker.
The limited-edition shoe is inspired by local culture and community.
The sneaker launches on 22 May for AED 899 at select UAE stores.
The UAE-exclusive 1080v15 running shoe takes inspiration from the UAE’s culture, community and everyday movement.
Sneaker collectors, take note. New Balance has unveiled a UAE-exclusive edition of its popular 1080 running shoe, bringing a locally inspired release to the region for a limited time only.
The New Balance 1080v15 UAE Exclusive will be available from 22 May 2026, priced at AED 899. Released in limited quantities, the sneaker will be sold only at select New Balance stores across Dubai and Abu Dhabi, making it one of the brand’s most regionally focused drops to date.
The launch follows the global release of the standard 1080v15 earlier this year, but this edition brings a distinct UAE identity to the performance silhouette. Designed as a celebration of the people, pace and communities that shape life across the emirates, the shoe blends New Balance’s running heritage with a subtle tribute to local culture.
Visually, the sneaker keeps things crisp and understated. A clean white upper forms the base of the design, while red and green details appear on the heel and lace tips. The colours offer a subtle nod to the UAE, without overpowering the shoe’s minimalist look. The result is a versatile running sneaker that can move easily from morning workouts to casual weekend wear.
According to New Balance, the concept celebrates people across the UAE who “show up, support one another and keep moving forward in their own way.” The message reflects the brand’s growing focus on community storytelling, positioning the sneaker as more than just a limited release.
New Balance has continued to grow its presence in the Middle East since expanding in the region in 2019. Through local activations, community-led campaigns and cultural collaborations, the brand has built momentum among runners, sneakerheads and style-conscious shoppers alike.
With limited pairs available, the New Balance 1080v15 UAE Exclusive is likely to move quickly. For those hoping to secure a pair, an early visit to stores may be the best approach.
