Original article published August 28th, 2026:

New Balance just unveiled its Made in USA Fall/Winter 2026 lineup in full, but as NB diehards know, every season comes with its own crop of general release fare. Here we have official images of one such offering, an energetic, mold-breaking take on the quintessential New Balance 992.

Already primed for a big season thanks to three Teddy Santis-curated colorways, the Steve Jobs favorite here takes on a striking mix of “Light Arctic Grey/Black/Blue Gemstone,” with the latter shade doing much of the heavy lifting. Blue Gemstone covers the mesh base, N logo trim, tongue stitching, and various midsole accents, while the softer Light Arctic Grey hue takes care of the outer suede paneling. Dark navy leather lands on the underlays and heel tab, while the bulk of the midsole is finished in black for an added dose of edge.

The New Balance 992 “Light Arctic Grey/Black/Blue Gemstone” releases soon via New Balance and select retailers for $200. See the official images below and visit our Sneaker Release Dates page for more.
