All New Balance 983 release dates & colorways
Glossy elliptical pods sit within the wavy sole of the New Balance 983, repeating the curves of the upper. Shadow Blue with Zinc Blue layers blue synthetic panels over darker mesh, with gray at the collar and laces. A molded N is outlined against the side panel, and small violet-tinted inserts add another finish around the cushioning. Rounded overlays run around the toe and heel, giving the shoe a continuous, curved profile from upper to outsole.
The 983 uses ABZORB SBS pods within a dual-density midsole. Mesh underlays sit between the synthetic reinforcements, while reflective accents appear along the upper. New Balance also specifies a stitch-and-turn collar, a construction detail around the foot opening. This adult unisex colorway was listed in standard D width.
