A heritage design housed within New Balance’s 99x series, the made-in-USA 998 is a follow-up to beloved sneakers like the 991, 992 and 997. The 998 was the first New Balance model to feature ABZORB cushioning, which marked a significant advancement in shock absorption technology. Featuring a classic mix of premium pigskin suede and mesh, the sleek 998 is most recognizable in its classic grey colorway but has also been treated to many well-liked collaborations, including New Balance’s 998 makeups with J. Crew and Kith.
