In a similar fashion to the recently released New Balance 990 v2 ‘Dusty Pink’, Ronnie Fieg’s Kith will be the exclusive retailer for the upcoming New Balance 992 ‘Steel Blue’. The shoe is being teased as a Spring release, but no official date has been confirmed as of yet.
Utilizing a combination of translucent rubber, premium suede, leather, and mesh, this US-made NB 992 is as high quality as it gets. The midsole arrives in a split Castlerock Grey in the heel and White at the front, with added translucent silver, frosted blue, and silver rubber inlays. The upper is primarily composed of a bright beige suede overlayed atop a subtle, steel blue mesh and sail leather detailing. “992” and “USA” branding on the posterior of the shoe is done in a dark navy blue which matches the lateral sides’ “N” logo outlines.
Despite its muted tones, the subtle blue dye applied throughout the mesh upper and darker blue accenting throughout the shoe result in a standout colorway on the NB 992 ‘Steel Blue’.
