New Balance is reigniting interest in its iconic 992 silhouette in 2025. The brand plans to blend classic “Made in USA” designs with exciting collaborations. Among these is a standout partnership with Chicago-based designer Joe Freshgoods. Known for bold storytelling and creative designs, Joe Freshgoods is revisiting the 992 after his successful 2020 “No Emotions Are Emotions” release.
The upcoming Joe Freshgoods x New Balance 992 “Aged Well” features a perfect mix of pastel and earthy tones. Its design includes a grey mesh base paired with pink, tan, and clay red suede overlays. Rich brown leather accents add texture, creating a nostalgic yet premium look. These materials give the sneaker a vintage feel while maintaining a contemporary vibe.
Staying true to the “Made in USA” legacy, the 992 “Aged Well” highlights New Balance’s dedication to quality and comfort. The signature ABZORB cushioning in the midsole ensures all-day comfort and wearability. Meanwhile, thoughtful design details showcase Joe Freshgoods’ artistic vision and storytelling ability.
