The Steve Jobs grail returns in timeless monochrome. New Balance 992 Made in USA "Black/Grey" delivers the premium craftsmanship and ABZORB cushioning that made this 2006 silhouette a legend, now back in a versatile colorway built for everyday rotation.
Design & Inspiration
Originally launched in 2006 for New Balance's 100th anniversary, the 992 became synonymous with understated quality after the late Steve Jobs adopted it as his signature shoe. The "Black/Grey" colorway brings sleek versatility to the heritage runner.
Black breathable mesh forms the base with matching black suede overlays creating clean, layered dimension. Grey leather trims provide signature New Balance DNA contrast, while metallic silver "N" logos shine at the midfoot. White laces and midsole detailing add brightness, with the midsole split by beige tones at the heel for subtle visual depth. A black rubber outsole completes the functional, durable aesthetic.
Comfort & Performance
ABZORB midsole technology delivers exceptional cushioning and support through heel and forefoot placement, providing the unmistakable feeling of peerless comfort. The dual-density molded EVA midsole combines with ABZORB insole technology for impact absorption and responsive energy return during extended wear. A carbon rubber outsole ensures durability and traction.
