The New Balance 992 ‘Grey’ comes in a simple grey colourway, released in a bigger size than most other silhouettes in the 992 line. The shoe is made of various materials, with the upper constructed from leather and suede. The sneaker comes in a bulky white Abzorb midsole, covered by a black outsole. The New Balance branding is visible in white on the grey tongue of the shoe, with white laces sitting at the top. Just behind the ankle of the shoe, you can see the number 992 written in grey. The entire shoe is made out of monochrome tones such as white, grey, and black.

Making liberal use of suede material, the JJJJound x New Balance is released in a nice, earthy grey colourway tone. The Abzorb midsole is ivory white in colour and is covered by a black outsole below it. The signature New Balance N logo sits on both the lateral and medial side of the suede upper. The tongue of the shoe also features black branding, with the words ‘New Balance’ written on top of it. Just below the logo, you can see the 992 names etched on the tongue in white on a greyish label. The laces come in white, while the insole of the shoe melts into a black colour from the dark heel collar. The JJJJound branding also appears on the back of the shoe in a black oval background, with the words, JJJJound embossed in a greyish colour.

Coming in a Valentine’s Day colourway blocking, the Don’t Be Mad and New Balance collaboration makes extensive use of mixed reddish-hue colours. The shoe steps away from the usual monotone colourway of New Balance sneakers, constructed from a mesh upper, with leather and suede, overlays on top of it. Befitting its name, the sneaker has a lot of shades of red, pink, and purple present on the shoe. The tongue of the shoe features the logos of both brands, with New Balance in a stitching pattern on the top. The midfoot of the shoe is majorly light pink in color, with the New Balance N logo on the medial and lateral sides. The midsole is unique in that it switches from black (rear) to white (front). Although an interesting blend of colours and outside of the conventional New Balance silhouette, this sneaker has shown to be quite popular amongst sneakerheads.
JJJJound x New Balance 992 ‘Mossy Green’

Another collaboration between JJJJound and New Balance, the ‘Mossy Green’ is exactly that — a black and green colourway on the upper with a midsole coming in off white and grey. The appearance of the shoe looks as if there is a patch of mossy grass growing from the white base root. The suede and leather upper give the sneaker an added comfortable aesthetic, with the New Balance ‘N’ visible on both the lateral and medial sides of the shoe. The JJJJound branding appears behind the shoe just above the New Balance logo and has grey text on top of a black oval window. The laces come in white, while the 992 logo appears on the tongue as well.
New Balance 992 ‘White Silver’

The entire upper of the ‘White Silver’ silhouette is made out of leather, suede, and mesh. With the signature ‘N’ visible on the lateral and medial sides of the shoe, the mesh across the upper provides added breathability and comfort. The midsole of the shoe is primarily white with translucent bubbles near the midfoot and the outsole blends seamlessly into a slightly darker color.
New Balance 992 ‘Gold Cream’

Guessing by the name of the shoe, the New Balance 992 ‘Gold Cream’ comes in a beautiful golden yellow and off-white cream colour. The entire upper is made out of leather, suede, and mesh. Metallic silver New Balance ‘N’ signature can be seen on both the lateral and medial sides of the shoe, with the mesh visible on the toe box. This adds extra breathability and comfort. Near the ankle of the shoe, the numbers 992 are inscribed in silver colour, with the midsole primarily cream-coloured with translucent bubble sole near the midfoot. The New Balance 992 branding appears on the tongue and the outsole comes in contrasting dark cream and black colour.
