New Balance 992 review

Who should buy the New Balance 992

The New Balance 992 is for sneaker fans who:

• are searching for an adaptable sneaker that they could use anywhere, anytime
• ranks comfort as their priority in a sneaker
• love to don dad sneakers without the heaviness
• enjoy wearing firm and stable footwear

Who should NOT buy it

The New Balance 992 is not for users who love ultra-soft cushioning. This pair has a firm dual-midsole for better stability and balance on and off the city tracks. If you prefer a more pillowy ride, better check New Balance's Fresh Foam collection. 

New Balance 992: Perfectly defines the dad-style sneakers 

The new cool in modern fashion, the NB 992 is the fitting pair if you're looking for a sneaker that is fashionably sleek on your feet. Popularly known as the favorite pair of footwear of late Apple CEO Steve Jobs, the NB 992 offers a trendy dad sneaker vibe, which is renowned for its synonymity with coolness.

Well-built footwear for everyone

Men and women will surely enjoy its snug and stable ride as the NB 992 is made with running footwear in mind. It is covered with layers of durable suede overlays on top of breathable and adaptable mesh material.

Meanwhile, the wide and thick midsole offers lightweight cushioning and reliable stability, perfect for whatever adventure for that day.

To give you an enhanced comfort level, New Balance uses well-padded cushioning on the heel and tongue for added cushy feel and support.

If you're too picky, consider these issues

Although the NB 992 is generally a well-made sneaker, some users have reported some minor drawbacks in its finishing. Many reviewers mention that their pair has visible glue stains near the midsole panel, while some observed loose thread in some parts of the shoe.

Feels cozy even after wearing it for hours

Comfortable pair for the city adventures, several buyers note that the NB992 is more comfortable than the NB 991. NB designed this pair to be comfy on the streets by using shock-absorbing technology found on the heel and forefoot called ABZORB. This tech will not deteriorate and flatten over time, unlike the other sneaker brands' technologies. 

Pricey yet worthy!

Copping this model is worth the price, as mentioned by many collectors. Move fast as this silhouette sells out quickly if you really plan to get a pair.

It feels so airy, the feet can breathe!

The breathable mesh helps with foot ventilation and allows for a short break-in period. While this pair may look thickly padded, it is still a suitable sneaker for the summer months!
