New Balance is once again proving why their “Made in USA” line is a cornerstone of sneaker culture. The brand is expanding its domestic production with a fresh new colorway of the iconic 998 model. This time, they’re embracing the autumnal vibes with a rich “Brown/Black” color palette.

The Made in USA line by New Balance is a testament to the brand’s dedication to domestic manufacturing and craftsmanship. Launched in 1982, this line aimed to produce high-quality sneakers using local materials and labor. Over the decades, it has become synonymous with superior craftsmanship and timeless style, maintaining a strong following among sneaker aficionados.

The new 998 Made in USA “Brown/Black” is a stellar representation of this legacy. The sneaker features a brown breathable mesh and pigskin suede upper, providing a rich, textured look that exudes warmth. Black leather overlays, tongues, and heels add a sleek contrast, enhancing the overall aesthetic. The cream-colored laces are a thoughtful touch, perfectly complementing the fall vibe of the shoe.

Comfort is key with the 998, and this edition is no exception. It comes equipped with New Balance’s signature ABZORB cushioned sole, ensuring a comfortable stride, whether you’re walking city streets or exploring autumn trails. The black durable rubber outsole adds to the shoe’s longevity, making it a reliable companion for the season.
