New Balance introduces the newest tonal iteration of the classic 992 sneaker model for the season with a dark palette and bright neon details. The shoe is rooted in a black and purple colorway as the base foundation before it is detailed with some colorblocking accents.
The uppers are made with mesh, suede, and leather materials in pitch-black before deep dark purple arrives in a suede material by the mudguard and the heel counter. Bright vibrant details make up the midfoot with yellow trimming that surrounds the signature N logo and white New Balance text makes its way around the tongue section. The same purple follows through to the midsole to ensure that the entire silhouette keeps a dark tone.
