New Balance 992 "Medusa Green" Made in USA Arrives Oct. 29, Online for New York Shoppers

New Balance is rolling out a Fall/Winter 2026 Made in USA collection, and one of its pieces is a new 992 in "Medusa Green." The full colorway name is Medusa Green/Thunder Brown, and the style code is U992BB. Sneaker Bar Detroit, JustFreshKicks and Highsnobiety have all covered it.

The upper is mostly dark green mesh, with matching overlays and teal stitching around the panels. A Thunder Brown suede mudguard runs from the toe through the sides and around the heel, and the brown carries down into the midsole and outsole. The result is a green top half over an earthy brown base.

White laces and collar lining lighten the look, and the side "N" logos are outlined in white. Grey panels near the heel carry the 992 branding, "USA" is stitched on the back, and the tongue has New Balance and 992 branding. Highsnobiety notes scaly green textures on the tongue and heel that play on the Medusa name. According to Sneaker Bar Detroit, the materials and construction stay close to what the 992 already offers.

The release date is October 29. Sneaker Bar Detroit's headline and body text mention October 27, but its own spec box, JustFreshKicks and Highsnobiety all give October 29. The retail price is $200, and the pair is sold on NewBalance.com, so New Yorkers can order online.

Highsnobiety adds that more 992s are on the way this fall, including a leather "Afterglow" pair and a "Sport Green" pair.
