New Balance still have five factories in the U.S. Celebrating their heritage, New Balance bring a clean colourway to their ‘Made In USA’ NB998.
Having factories both in the U.S. and UK, make any New balance desirable, whether it’s trying to get only ‘U.S.’ made models or collecting those special UK editions. NB fans rejoice with this ‘limited edition’ NB 998. Featuring a part mesh part suede upper, with soft Grey suede being the dominant material. With the Navy mesh toe-box, accompanied by the mesh hits on the tongue and side panels (beneath the ankle). 3M reflective pops up at the front and on the heel for that night visibility, and the classic ‘N’ logo in Navy suede backed by a White leather outline. The shoe model number sits heavy on the suede/mesh tongue along with the brand name and ‘Made In USA’ stitched in Navy. Finishing off with the ‘Abzorb’ technology midsole which is a mix of Grey and White with a Red block that pops. The quality of this shoe is simply amazing. Whether it’s your first pair of NB’s or your an avid collector, this is one model that definitely shouldn’t be overlooked.
The New Balance 998 ‘Made In USA’ is available both in-store and for mail order now. UK7 – UK11, at £120.00.
