This might be the easiest time in recent years to get your hands on the 992 “Original Grey.”
When we talk about the “soul of Made in USA New Balance,” I still think of the 992. On one hand, its design is truly iconic—the grey, the suede, the mesh—every detail stays true to the original. But even more important is the feel on foot: excellent support and comfort all around. The moment you step into them, you understand why they’re called the “presidential shoes.”
The 992 became popular not just because of Steve Jobs, but because they’re durable, made for long walks, and incredibly versatile. You can wear them to a café, or to the warehouse to move boxes (like I do). Over time, that worn-in look even adds more character.
No flashy tech, no experimental colors—just a pair of shoes you’ll want to wear every single day.
