This New Balance 992 Made In USA Looks Inside-Out

The New Balance Made In USA Fall/Winter 2026 Collection has a total of nine footwear offerings from the mind of Teddy Santis. One standout pair from the lineup is a 992 clad in an ensemble that could be mistaken for being inside-out.

Throughout the year, the New Balance 992 has emerged in special makeovers to commemorate its 20th anniversary. The silhouette's "Black/Turtledove/Afterglow" color scheme isn't as limited as other styles from the Boston-based brand, but its execution delivers an uncommon aesthetic thanks to its natural leather trim.

Other sportswear brands have brought an inside-out concept to experimental footwear releases, and it seems the New Balance Made In USA Team has applied a similar idea to the beloved 992. Although the pair's upper is predominantly clad in understated tones, the light brown leather edges visible across the shoe give the illusion that that shoe's top-half has been flipped inside-out, revealing dark-colored panels that are typically hidden.

An ultra-"aged" midsole also joins the mix, contributing to the "unfinished"/"deconstructed" aesthetic brought forth by the upper.
