Originally introduced in 1993, the New Balance 998 was a pioneer in the brand's history, marking the debut of the small N logo and featuring the revolutionary ABZORB cushioning for unparalleled shock absorption and comfort. WTAPS has infused their signature style into this classic silhouette, elevating its "functional yet tranquil appearance" with thoughtful design touches.

The sneaker’s predominantly grey colorway nods to New Balance's core identity, while subtle navy accents provide a refined contrast, enhancing the overall sleek and timeless aesthetic. Meticulous details such as heel prints and insole logos embody WTAPS' philosophy of creating versatile pieces that adapt effortlessly to various styles, offering a subtle but memorable statement for any outfit. This collaboration beautifully captures the intersection of performance, culture, and timeless design.
