New Balance premium footwear releases

Overview

New Balance has announced upcoming releases for its premium footwear lines, specifically focusing on the 992 and 991v2 models. The 992 ‘Medusa Green’ from the Made in USA Fall/Winter 2026 collection is scheduled for release on October 27, 2026. This model features a dark green mesh upper with teal stitching and Thunder Brown suede overlays, with a retail price set at approximately $200. The design incorporates mythological themes through scaled green panels on the tongue and heel. The Made in UK 991v2 is receiving an ‘Elevated Neutrals’ edition, including a ‘Turbulence’ colorway featuring black mesh and two shades of goat suede. This model utilizes FuelCell foam and ABZORB SBS technology for cushioning and is slated for release on November 1, 2026, with a retail price of 250 €. Expanding its Made in USA lineup, the brand has unveiled the 990v7 in a ‘Kool Grey’ colorway. As the seventh iteration of the 990 series, the model succeeds the 990v6 and retains the signature layered upper and chunky stacked midsole. The ‘Kool Grey’ design utilizes light and dark grey suede with grey mesh, accented by pastel details such as a pale blue and soft yellow ‘N’ logo and midsole integration. The shoe features a red ‘v7’ tab and is scheduled for release on November 6, 2026. Developed under the design philosophy “Memories from the Future,” the 990v7 incorporates pig suede, leather accents, and synthetic suede swaybars. Technical updates include a refined FuelCell foam, ENCAP technology, a CR device, and a new TPU midfoot shank for stability. In Japan, the model will be priced at 49,500 yen. To prepare for the launch, New Balance Harajuku will host a trial event from October 23 to December 7, with some locations utilizing lottery-based sales for myNB members.
