Teddy Santis and his Aime Leon Dore label are busy with New Balance in early 2025. They just dropped the all-new RC56 silhouette and are prepping to drop an aquatic footwear model dubbed the MT10T, but outside of Santis’ work with ALD, the man is also helming the ship for New Balance’s Made in USA collection. After previewing the entire Spring/Summer 2025 Collection in March, official images of the latest seasonal, 992 Made in USA, emerged.
Here, we see the 992 coated in a mixture of sweet caramel and calcium, with the former of the two shades hitting the pigskin suede mudguard, midfoot, eyelets, tongue, and heel overlay. The base mesh is stark white, contrasted by the calcium-shaded leather toebox and collar overlays. Hits of metallic silver on the N logo and vamp contrast the white hues surrounding it, including the piping of the N logo, the open-spaced mesh tongue, and the lace set.
