Stone Island and New Balance continue their ongoing partnership with the launch of the MADE in USA 998, marking their first-ever MiUSA collaboration. Following the 991v2 “Ghost Pack”, this release draws inspiration from Stone Island’s iconic Raso Gommato fabric, a military-grade satin-weave cotton with a polyurethane coating, originally introduced in 1984 and reimagined for Spring/Summer 2025.
