The Made in USA New Balance 993 Heritage Collection is Available Now

The Made in USA line has always been a crucial part of New Balance's roster, but since Teddy Santis became its creative direction, the range has brought unprecedented cachet to the company. Cognizant of its importance, Santis has handled the division with care, elevating its color palette, campaign material, and other elements to repackage its storied past for a modern audience. Come May, the Boston-based team is set to release another respect-oriented effort in the form of the 993 Heritage Collection.

Unveiled via official images sourced by Elden Monitors, the lineup includes three takes on the New Balance 993. "Reflection Grey," "Incense Grey," and "Covert Green" hues take over the silhouette's premium pig suede uppers. Reflective overlays and breathable mesh bases favor standard grey finishes, which inspired the brand's month-long Grey Days celebration.

Elsewhere, the bells-and-whistles with which the sneaker debuted in 2008 reprise their roles on the newly-surfaced trio. Proud USA branding on the top-of-the-tongue and spine confirm the pairs' domestic manufacturing, a process Adidas recently admitted to being near-impossible for it. The Ndurance-protected ABZORB and ACTEVA cushioning solutions favor their traditional grey-and-white looks, too. Lastly, a nod to the Heritage Collection appears on the footbeds of each shoe.
