Colorway: Driftwood/Rich Oak/Incense
SKU: U992SG
MSRP: $200 USD
Release Date: December 26, 2025
Where to Buy: New Balance

The legendary New Balance 992 is set to reinforce its status as the pinnacle of heritage running with the upcoming release of the “Driftwood/Rich Oak” colorway. This anticipated model is a sophisticated and mature update to the iconic Made in USA silhouette, fusing natural, earthy tones with the shoe’s celebrated technical architecture.

The design is a masterful study in premium texture. The upper is constructed from a meticulous blend of soft pigskin suede and breathable mesh. The core of the shoe is cloaked in Driftwood, a light, washed-out grey-beige hue, which is beautifully contrasted by the rich, deep brown of Rich Oak on the accent panels and underlays. This organic, sophisticated color blocking makes the 992 an effortlessly versatile piece for everyday wear.

Underfoot, the sneaker delivers the superior comfort it is famous for, utilizing the segmented midsole featuring ABZORB cushioning technology. This ensures the shoe provides both maximum stability and responsive impact absorption. The New Balance 992 “Driftwood/Rich Oak” is expected to release by the end of the year.
