2025 is the year of the New Balance 992 and Joe Freshgoods is marking its return with a tasty new collaboration. This week, JFG officially previewed the “Aged Well” collaboration on his social media after leaks were posted on eBay. The silhouette brings plenty of orange and pink, with hints of rust around the sneaker’s technical aspects, including the Abzorb SBS shock absorption. It’s another clean, simple colourway that celebrates the brand’s success spanning five years, 10 projects, and 20 shoes. Could this be the best yet?

Release information has not been shared. However, expect these to drop in the coming months with pricing around the AUD$400 mark.

Where to buyNew Balance

While it’s tough to find in stores today, the New Balance 992 might be the ultimate dad shoe. It oozes a normcore aesthetic with its mesh and suede panels, elements that have been adopted by all brands hoping to take a slice of New Balance’s dad shoe pie in recent years. Ultimately, few brands can compete with NB on quality, and the 992 is still a ‘Made in USA’ shoe to this day.

Of course, we can’t forget the Steve Jobs influence. He gave the silhouette the official stamp of approval when he wore the 992 on stage during the unveiling of the first iPhone. There are even rumours that he had a part in the design of the shoe, allegedly sharing a sketch of his “ideal sneaker” with New Balance chairman Mr Jim Davis.

If you want to get your hands on the Joe Freshgoods x New Balance 992 “Aged Well” collab, stay tuned as we’ll update you with an official price, list of retailers, and release date.
