One of the greatest New Balance collaborations of all time is back. The Concepts 998 “C-Note” originally released in 2013 and quickly gained cult status. Fast forward a decade later, to celebrate its 10th anniversary, the shoe has returned nearly identical to its original form. Check out my review to learn more about the retro and to see how it stacks up against the OG!
Kith teamed up with Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation and New Balance to release two beautiful colourways of the 998 silhouette, inspired by Wright’s Broadacre City concept. These two 998s are Made in USA, featuring a mix of earthy tones in pigsuede and hairy suede, mesh and more. Check out my detailed review to get an in-depth look at these beauties, and let me know which colourway you all prefer more!
Another day, another New Balance pickup! Recently, I picked up a pair of the 998 “Coastal Pack” from Sneaker Junkies in Boston, which is another summer-ready pair with a bold orange toebox, contrasted against clean white-coloured leather panels. Watch my review for a closer look, and see how they look on feet! Is this a cop or drop for you?
One of my fave New Balance 998 pickups just happens to be a GR! The M998AWB has a tropical and Caribbean vibe to it, and is the perfect pair for summer. Made in USA, they are exceptionally built with high quality materials and a definite keeper for my collection. Check out my review to learn more and to see how they are on feet!
My latest pickup is a New Balance 998 that dropped in 2019. With a Parra “Amsterdam” vibe to them, these 998s are Made in USA, and feature a luxurious burgundy suede upper with teal and grey hits throughout. Definitely a unique but beautiful colourway for the collection! Check out my review to learn more!
