New Balance Made in USA Sets the Tone for Fall/Winter 2026

Teddy Santis is taking New Balance Made in USA into the colder months with a Fall/Winter 2026 collection built around richer materials, seasonal colors, and four of the brand’s most recognizable silhouettes. The collection spans the 990v4, 992, 993, and 1300, with its palette gradually shifting as the season progresses. Early releases favor softer neutrals and pastel tones before burgundy, navy, green, brown, and other darker shades begin to take over.

Leading the season are two textured interpretations of New Balance staples. A Grey Violet 990v4 uses hairy suede across its light lilac upper, while the accompanying 993 combines Grey Violet and Timberwolf for a warmer, dusty finish. The 1300 follows with one of the cleaner combinations in the collection. Sea Salt provides the cream-colored foundation, complemented by Blue Oyster and Mulled Wine accents that bring blue and burgundy into the retro runner without overpowering its understated appearance.

As the season moves forward, the 990v4 takes on a noticeably darker identity. One leather-heavy edition combines Monarch Burgundy and Pumpernickel, while another mixes NB Navy, Meteorite, and Kombu for a muted blend of blue, grey, and green.

The 992 becomes a major focus deeper into the collection. A Medusa Green, Cortado, and Thunder Brown edition combines pigskin suede, nubuck, and Horween leather, leaning heavily into the premium textures and earthy colors associated with fall. Another 992 pairs Black, Afterglow, and NB Navy with cream accents, while the final Sport Green, Interstellar, and Arctic Grey version introduces a brighter mix of green and purple.

The 993 also returns later in Shadow Blue, Cortado, and Black, distinguished by embossed pigskin suede that gives the familiar runner another layer of texture. Together, the releases continue Santis’ approach to Made in USA: familiar New Balance shapes treated as a seasonal wardrobe rather than isolated sneaker drops. Fall/Winter 2026 moves naturally from lighter transitional colors into heavier materials and deeper palettes as the year progresses.

The New Balance Made in USA Fall/Winter 2026 collection begins releasing September 3, 2026, through New Balance and select retailers, with additional releases rolling out throughout the season.
