New Balance 992 Made in USA Grey
Buy at New Balance
To celebrate the brand’s 100th birthday in 2006, New Balance introduced a new iteration to its 99X and Made in USA lineup with the 992. It was an immediate hit, and most famously, Steve Jobs was spotted rocking the classic Grey colorway of the 992 during Apple press events and in his day-to-day life in the mid to late 2000s. Now, New Balance is bringing back the sneaker in all its grey glory.
Preceding the release of this “core” colorway and the other core colors such as Navy, Black, Triple Black, and Nimbus Cloud, New Balance tapped Joe Freshgoods to launch an aged version of his original 992 collaboration from 2020. Kith and Action Bronson are also expected to release their sneaker versions. As for this Grey iteration, things remain identical to the original pair from 2006, as we see premium materials and a greyscale palette coat the sneaker.
