All release info as always at Grailify! After years of waiting, the time has finally come: the iconic New Balance 992 Made in USA is back - and in several classic colourways, including the all-black ‘Core Black’ model. Originally released in 2006, the 992 has been an integral part of every sneaker DNA since the celebrated collaborations with Joe Freshgoods or JJJJJound in the 2020s and is considered the epitome of New Balance Heritage.
The ‘Core Black’ edition scores with an upper made from premium suede, smooth leather and breathable mesh - all in deep black. The toebox, mudguard and heel are made from soft pigskin suede, while the midfoot panel made from mesh provides ventilation. Black leather overlays on the eyestay and collar further emphasise the striking silhouette.
The branding remains subtle: the classic ‘N’ logo, the ‘992’ embroidery and the branding window on the tongue are all tone-on-tone. A combination of ABZORB cushioning, ENCAP and C-CAP midsole ensures the usual high level of comfort - exactly what fans have appreciated for years.
