New Balance 992 Available Now
New Balance 992 History
For their centennial, New Balance unveiled the groundbreaking 992 in 2006, setting a new benchmark in athletic footwear. This addition to the 99X series quickly gained recognition for its innovative design and advanced technology. Featuring premium pigskin suede, breathable mesh, and ABZORB cushioning, the 992 offered exceptional comfort and stability.
Initially designed for runners, the 992’s appeal broadened when tech icon Steve Jobs was often seen wearing them, elevating its status. After a hiatus, the model made a triumphant return in 2020, popular collaborations with JJJJound and Joe Freshgoods leading the way. The return was well-timed, coinciding with the resurgence of chunky, retro-inspired footwear.
The New Balance 992 is a stable cornerstone of the 99X series, blending performance heritage with timeless style, all while continuing the trend of being made in the US using high quality materials. Its enduring popularity reaffirms the brand’s unique position in the footwear industry, appealing to those who value both function and fashion.
