New Balance 998 Made in USA “Teddy Santis – Orange Royal” (U998OB)
Sepia. Denk aan een verweerde foto: warm bruin met een vleugje sjofel-chic, alsof de kleur al jaren meegaat en er alleen maar beter op is geworden. Op de New Balance 998 krijgt die tint gezelschap van Atlantic Blue, een diep en rustig zeeblauw dat de panelen doorbreekt en het hele silhouet iets nautisch geeft. De twee kleuren duwen elkaar op scherp: het bruin brengt aardse warmte, het blauw houdt het koel en volwassen. Geen schreeuwerige boel, wel een colorway met een duidelijk eigen karakter (U998OB).
Dit is bovendien een Made in USA-uitvoering, en dat proef je in de afwerking — dit is de 998 die zorg en vakmanschap uitstraalt in plaats van massa. Combineer 'm met een rechte spijkerbroek en een crèmekleurige trui, dan laat je die sepia-toon het werk doen. Of ga voor donkere chino's en trek het Atlantic Blue naar voren; beide kanten van dit duo staan je te wachten.

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 12 Sep 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 59). 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.
