New Balance U998BL – Maden in USA (black) – U998BL

Zwart domineert deze 998, van neus tot hiel in een diep, egaal donker. De charme zit in de zilvergrijze accenten: het grote N-logo op de zijkant licht subtiel op tegen het donkere bovenwerk, en de hiel breekt het geheel met een contrasterende print. De mix van materialen geeft die zwarte basis extra diepte — zacht kalfssuède zorgt voor karakter en een premium touch, terwijl vlakken mesh je voet koel en ademend houden. Fijn pigskin-leer houdt de vorm strak, dag in dag uit.

Onder je voet vangt de ABZORB-demping elke stap moeiteloos op, zodat je uren doorloopt zonder in te leveren. De gewatteerde enkelkraag sluit comfortabel aan en de rubberen buitenzool geeft je grip op elke ondergrond. Dit Made in USA-model (U998BL) draagt dat vakmanschap zichtbaar mee. Combineer 'm met een rechte donkere jeans of een grijze cargo — dan spelen die zilveren details vanzelf de hoofdrol.

CheapestNew Balance 998 “Olive” (U998GT)$90PriciestNew Balance 998 “iUSA WTAPS Visual Uparmored” (U998WT)$340

We 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 11 Sep 2026.

Hypescore × price

Hype doesn't have to be expensive. Each dot is a New Balance 998 colorway (of the 18 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 33). 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.
