Originally released in 2006 to celebrate the brand’s 100th anniversary, the New Balance 992 Grey was the first New Balance shoe to incorporate ABZORB stability technology. The shoe, which was designed by Jonathan Bacon, was crafted to offer support and comfort for either casual daily wear or athletic activities such as running.

The New Balance 992 Grey is made with suede and mesh uppers, which offer both support and a snug fit as well as plenty of airflow. The ABZORB cushioning material, found in the sole and heel of the shoe, is designed to absorb impact, reducing stress on the joints.

The New Balance 992 grey released in February of 2006 and retailed for $175.
