New Balance 992 Made in USA Nimbus Cloud
Buy at New Balance
After years in the vault and a reintroduction, thanks to long-time partner Joe Freshgoods, the New Balance 992 is finally back on the market. Originally released back in 2006 as a celebration of NB’s 100th anniversary, the sneaker has become a fan-favorite for die-hard Made in USA fans and was once the sneaker of choice for the legendary Steve Jobs. Outside of upcoming collaborations with Kith and Action Bronson, New Balance has prepped some traditional GR colorways, starting with this Nimbus Cloud rendition.
Like other Made in USA sneakers, the 992 features a premium construction with pigskin suede, smooth leather, and breathable open-spaced mesh. For this Nimbus Cloud colorway, a staple in NB’s lineup, we see cream, white, grey, and silver shades come together across the various paneling. Light grey appears on the pigskin suede panels, while the base mesh is metallic silver grey, contrasting the cream toebox and collar overlays.
