With Joe Freshgoods’ “Aged Well” project now in the rear-view mirror, the New Balance 992 resurgence is officially underway. We’re getting all the “core” colorways, more collaborations with familiar partners like KITH, and for our purposes; new styles by NB creative director and Aimé Leon Dore founder Teddy Santis. This “Mushroom” edition is one of them.

The design aligns with newly-unveiled 997 and 990v6 colorways with a palette of “Mushroom/Moonrock,” maintaining a familiar, tonal aesthetic while asserting uniqueness texture swaps. Nubuck, hairy suede, and smooth suede paneling wrap a mesh base, accentuated by reflective New Balance logos on both sides. Most of the design favors the grey “Moonrock” hue, with titular “Mushroom” playing a supporting role on the tongue and heel. Honing in on those areas, the cut-out tongue window features horizontal lines as opposed to the standard synthetic underlay.

Release information for the “Mushroom” New Balance 992 is scant at this stage, but know that our Sneaker Release Dates page will update with full details as they come in. For now, enjoy first look imagery below.
