New Balance 998 ‘Made in USA’ – Grey – Black – Red

It was a little over a year ago that New Balance combined grey suede with oak brown accents and just a hint of red on a superbly executed ‘Made in USA’ 998.  Were you to have switched the brown for black and allowed more red to push things in a more aggressive direction, you’d end up with something similar to this upcoming New Balance M998GR, another US-made classic with that timeless NB appeal.  These were the pick of the 998 litter in fall/winter previews earlier this year; will we see any more colorways before the ’13s start rolling in?  Stick with Sneaker News to find out, and in the meantime, have a closer look at this new pair for July and pre-order yours today from End.
