New Balance 998s Bring Back a Familiar Palette

More runners from the only bring still making them in the U.S.

New Balance devotees might have to do a double take on this new model to realize that it is indeed a recently released one.

The shoe looks rather like the New Balance 998HL that released last year as part of the brand's Connoisseur Authors collection. The New Balance 998's ongoing presence in the retro catalog of course means that same looks are bound to end up similar, especially given how the brand has stayed pretty close to the equation of suede, mesh, and reflective materials on the shoe.

The New Balance 998CBL shown here is up for grabs now at retailers including Feature LV.
