Desaturated colorways have been creeping into winter releases quietly, and New Balance embraces that ethos yet again. The New Balance 992 “Olivine” packs the same reserved assuredness that’s made the Made in USA line synonymous with unwavering confidence year after year. It’s familiar but far from stale.
Grey suede forms the toe, mudguard, and heel, while a breathable mesh underlays the midfoot. Cream leather overlays adorn the laces and sides, softening contrast rather than exaggerating it. Olive accents take form in the sculpted midsole, which boasts a translucent olive ABZORB window for some added dimension that never distracts from the simple off-white foundation.
Branding stays restrained. A metallic-gold “N” lands on the lateral side, and a cut-out “USA” appears at the heel. The gum outsole grounds the look, and the padded tongue with its tan 992 tag reinforces the model’s long-standing balance of comfort and craft — a quiet signal that refinement still leads this silhouette.
The New Balance 992 “Olivine” will be released February 26, 2026 at NewBalance.com and select retail outlets for $200.
