New Balance 998 “Made in USA – Navy / Chrome Blue” (U998CB)
Navy die diep en donker begint, met chrome blue dat er dwars doorheen flitst — dat is de spanning waar de New Balance 998 Made in USA het van moet hebben. Het marineblauw geeft het silhouet gewicht en rust, terwijl de lichtere, bijna metaalachtige blauwtinten de lijnen oplichten en de klassieke 998-vorm in beweging zetten. Het blijft een colorway die zich koel en volwassen gedraagt, maar net genoeg energie vasthoudt om niet saai te worden. De Made in USA-afwerking voel je terug in de zorgvuldige opbouw; voor de kenner staat dit paar geboekstaafd als U998CB.
Omdat het navy zo dominant is, valt dit paar makkelijk te dragen. Zet het onder een rechte jeans of een verwassen chino en de chrome blue accenten doen de rest — die vragen om een top in dezelfde koele familie, of juist een crème laag die het blauw naar voren duwt. Wil je de contrastwerking maximaal? Houd de rest van je outfit rustig en laat het blauw-op-blauw spel het gesprek voeren.

PriciestNew Balance 998 J. Crew Concrete Jungle Forest Green/Olive-Orange-Cream (M998JC4)€990We always compare the lowest price a colorway is currently on sale for somewhere: the cheapest entry point, usually for one specific size. The comparison stays within the same age group, because a kids size (TD/PS/GS) is priced differently than an adult size. Because the price varies per size, your size may come out a little higher. To keep the comparison fair we leave out the most and least expensive two percent — the resale outliers, and the price axis is logarithmic so both the cheap and the pricey end stay readable. We refresh the numbers several times a day; last update 30 Aug 2026.
Hypescore × price
Hype doesn't have to be expensive. Each dot is a New Balance 998 colorway (of the 53 with a Hypescore): the further right, the more hype, and the higher a dot sits, the cheaper the sneaker. This sneaker is the photo with the red ring (Hypescore 49). Below the RRP they're called meltdowns: top-left the quiet price meltdowns (cheap, but little attention yet), top-right the radiating meltdowns — lots of hype and well below retail, the hottest deals. Above the RRP sit the grails: bottom-right the radiating grails (loved and pricey), and bottom-left the potential grails — pricey with little hype. That can simply be too expensive, but it's often where fresh drops and collabs appear that are too new to have gathered grail votes; their hype still has to build.
