Defined by a striking, cool-toned “Argon” hue, the 992 comes fully equipped with classic New Balance ABZORB cushioning, a dual ENCAP and C-CAP midsole, and signature reflective accents. Finally, the 993 arrives in the deep “Asteroid” palette, boasting versatile ACTEVA cushioning and a full-length NDurance rubber outsole for maximum comfort and durability.By dipping into his staple color palette, Ronnie Fieg has once again elevated New Balance’s heritage runners into modern luxury must-haves.
