New Balance unveiled a “Tan/Grey” colorway of its popular 992, bringing the runner another understated release focused more on texture than pops of color. Available starting Summer 2026 via NewBalance.com and at select retailers for $200.

Tan suede caps the mudguard, eyestay, side panel, and heel. It dresses up the 992’s complex shape with an effortless feel. Tan mesh is also present underneath those sections within the toe box and midfoot for some added ventilation.

Grey leather accents appear on the toe, collar, tongue, and side overlays. While subtle, they help define the upper. Silver laser-cut “N” logos are found on the side panels, while smaller reflective-style branding near the heel takes influence from runner-specific shoes without being overbearing. Meanwhile, the halo around the translucent window on the heel features hairy tan suede, creating one of the better contrasts with the metallic silver New Balance tab within.

Grey shows up on the tongue, which is mostly white with branding, while a translucent “992” badge is found on the laces. White is also present on the midsole, creating an illusion that some sections are fewer Senses. Grey appears on the ABZORB cushioning, while a standard black rubber outsole rounds out the shoe.

The New Balance 992 “Tan/Grey” is an effortless colorway. Utilizing suede, mesh, leather, and neutral color blocking makes the shoe feel complete without overthinking the design.
