The New Balance 998 is a more streamlined New Balance running shoe, characterized by the lack of ornate swishes in the midsole and overlays that can be found on other sneakers in the New Balance 990 Series. With its own recognizable silhouette, the New Balance 998 delivers simplicity and high performance. Designed with support, responsiveness, and structure in mind, the New Balance 998 delivers exceptional quality on all fronts.
The New Balance 998 is crafted using high-quality premium materials as well as cutting-edge sport shoe technology. The upper is made of a mesh base with pigskin suede and pigskin leather overlays that give the upper structure and support. The midsole is made with ABZORB technology to add energized responsiveness to every step. The outsole comprises five different sections of rubber that help with the shoe's traction.
On the New Balance 998, you can find a number of different colors. Some of the colorways of the New Balance 998 are tonal, with the shoe’s one color appearing even on the midsole. Other colorways pop with bright, contrasting colors. Some of these colors include the Bodega Mass Transit, the J.Crew Hilltop Blues, the Gray Light Blue Red, the Todd Snyder Color Spectrum, and the Surplus Materials White. A number of New Balance 998 running shoes feature colors that result from a collaboration between New Balance and other icons of pop culture and streetwear fashion.
The New Balance 998 running shoes on StockX are sized for men as well as for women (W).
