While Teddy Santis’ focus on the Made in USA seasonal collection for New Balance has shifted from the 993 toward the 992, the reintroduction of the latter model doesn’t mean that the brand has given up on the 993 altogether. All that said, things have been quiet on the 993 front for some time, with the last preview of an upcoming colorway coming via Ronnie Fieg when he teased two pairs as part of an upcoming Madison Square Garden (or Knicks) themed collection. On the GR side of things, the 993 has just emerged in a familiar-looking Pink Taffy color scheme.
If you’ve kept New Balance releases on your radar for some time, you may be thinking this pair has already been released. We can’t blame you, as this new 993 looks nearly identical to the 991v2 Made in UK Black Pink that was released last year exclusively in Japan as part of the City Exclusive Collection, which featured pairs for the US, Japan, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and China. The 993 steals this two-tone, primarily pink color palette as the mudguard, midfoot panels, and heel overlays are rendered in a premium pink taffy suede.
