New Balance 992 Made in USA x Joe Freshgoods

This story-driven 992 concludes the opening chapter of the ever-evolving New Balance and Joe Freshgoods partnership, which produced twenty sought-after sneakers over ten influential projects. Nicknamed ‘Aged Well’, its gradient of five beautifully weathered tones, such as Rose Smoke and Misty Rose – sun-faded colors based on their first collaboration – celebrates the “best 5 year run ever” while also honoring the grace of aging naturally over time. Before its February 2025 release, Freshgoods reflected on his personal growth and visited New Balance’s Skowhegan factory to observe its shoemakers, sharing both insights on social media alongside pictures of his grandmother wearing the elegant colorway. A pop-up tour of key cities from his creative journey offered fans a direct connection to the timeless sneaker and its captivating story.
