Action Bronson New Balance 992 Baklava “Pink/Purple”

It’s a descriptor that’s frequently thrown around nowadays, but Action Bronson is truly doing side quests at this point. The chef-turned-rapper-turned-chef has explored the entertainment world thoroughly in the past few years, stepping into the ring for WWE appearances and several notable acting roles, uniting with Robert DeNiro in The Irishman and Pete Davidson in The King of Staten Island.

Undoubtedly, the ensemble cast of the impending “Caught Stealing” gives him his most high-profile links, sharing the screen with Austin Butler, Bad Bunny, Zoe Kravitz, and Matt Smith. In sharing the red carpet, he makes some headlines in our corner of the world, unveiling a yet-unseen version of the Action Bronson x New Balance 992.

Without earnest in-hand images, it’s tough to make out all that this pair has to offer, its broadest strokes are readily apparent; lush royal purple suede combines with lilac eye-stays and reflective pink underlays for an undeniably vibrant first impression. With orange/beige mesh underpinnings, we see a connection to the already-revealed “Knicks” style colorway, but that earthy edition and the hi-vis one at hand are genuinely worlds apart in their overriding aesthetics.

With the rollout now heating up, perhaps we will end up seeing the New Balance x Action Bronson New Balance 992 hit the public before Fall 2025 is over. In the meantime, feel free to dissect this first look up top or below, the latter included next to a shot of Bronson alongside Benito and Butler.
