About the Joe Freshgoods x Don't Be Mad x New Balance 992 Made in USA "Anatomy of a Heart"

New Balance's 99X line moved in order for its first fifteen years (990 in 1982, then the 995, 996, 997, 998 and 999) before doubling back to fill gaps. The 991 came in 2001 and the 992 in 2006, both made in the United States, where the series has stayed while most footwear manufacturing left.

The 992 is a heavier, more panelled shoe than the 990 that started it, which is what makes it useful to a designer working in colour blocks rather than silhouettes. Joe Freshgoods, working through his apparel label Don't Be Mad, built his around a date rather than a theme: it went out on 14 February 2020, and the shoe is titled after the anatomy of a heart.

The midsole splits the difference underneath: white on one half, black on the other. It listed at $175.
