Action Bronson’s first collaborative project on the popular New Balance 992 will launch on September 18th via www.specializinginlife.com. Much like Bronson’s latest collaborations, this pair will be released via raffle on the morning of the 18th. The pair, then, is expected to launch on September 26th via participating New Balance partners.

Mr Baklava is back with his latest project with New Balance.
The 992 has enjoyed a great comeback year this 2025- and Action Bronson is the latest to put his signature touch on the popular sneaker.
First teased by the New York rapper back in June, it looks like this month will be the month the Tiger Eye 992 is finally unleashed.
The eye popping blocking has become an expectation for Action Bronson’s collaborative sneakers. In that aspect, the Tiger Eye plays the hits. The hits of brown have the difficult task of attempting to tone down the vibrant orange upper. Ultimately, the result is a classic fall look reminiscent of your favorite work boots.
The pop of blue on the tongue adds further life into the sneaker, all the while leaning back into Bronson’s New York roots. The 992’s laces, too, succeed in giving the sneaker a work-wear feel as the traditional laces are replaced with oval laces, the same style that has become familiar to previous Baklava collaborations.
Bronson’s collaborations never arrive alone, though. His collaboration project on the 992 will be no exception, as a second colorway, dubbed Digitalis Purpurea, is expected to drop sometime after the Tiger Eye colorway.
The Baklava x New Balance 992 Tiger Eye releases this September via specializinginlife.com.
