The New Balance MADE in USA 998, reintroduced in 2023, is a true icon of timeless design and performance innovation. First launched in 1993 as the pioneering shoe to feature ABZORB cushioning, it combined advanced shock absorption with a sleek update to the classic 99X series aesthetic. This model showcases a premium OG grey pigskin suede and mesh upper, crafted with high-quality MADE in USA construction. It includes an adjustable lace closure for a customized fit, heritage styling, and a midsole designed to absorb impact through cushioning and compression resistance. New Balance MADE in USA footwear contains at least 70% domestic value, though this line represents a limited portion of the brand’s US sales. Please note, this product contains pigskin material.
