New Balance 920 - What Our Product Specialists Think


“I could honestly wear them all day.”
JACK S - CONTENT WRITER
How do they fit?
My New Balance 920s fit pretty true to size. There's a little bit more room around the middle than some of my other New Balance trainers, but I have slim feet too so I can understand it.
Are they comfortable?
They're super comfortable because of the UK build and top-grade materials combined with the ENCAP cushioning in the midsole unit. I could honestly wear them all day.
How do you style them?
I usually style my pair with relaxed pants or wide-leg joggers. On the top, I wear a simple logo tee and layer with a lightweight jacket if the weather permits.
How do you clean them?
Cleaning the New Balance 920 is pretty simple. Avoid using products that might damage the suede panels, and use a soft sponge dipped into warm soapy water instead.
What's your favourite colourway?
My favourite colourway is the New Balance 920 "Desert Scape". There's just something about earthy tones that I find that set an outfit off to the next level. On top of that, the hues work well with neutral shades like white, grey and black.


“I don’t think I own any New Balance shoes that I couldn’t comfortably wear all day, and the 920 is no different.”

How do they fit?
With the New Balance 920, I would say to go for your true size when picking them up. For me, they felt a little spacious because I have a narrow foot but I still wouldn’t recommend sizing down.
Are they comfortable?
They are definitely comfortable! I don’t think I own any New Balance shoes that I couldn’t comfortably wear all day, and the 920 is no different. The midsole is the same used for the New Balance 990v3, so you can be guaranteed comfort with this pair.
How do you style them?
For me, a go-to outfit to go with the New Balance 920 is a t-shirt or hoodie on top and then a pair of wider fitting cargo pants from Carhartt or Maharishi. I like to keep a neutral colour palette with my pair, so a classic pair of olive cargos are always something I can throw on, and it looks great!
How do you clean them?
I like to keep my New Balance sneakers clean because the suede they use is always good quality. When I get the 920s a little dirty, I will clean it with a basic cleaning method, using a suede brush, and a lot of patience to make sure I don’t ruin the materials.
What's your favourite colourway?
The pair I went for was the New Balance 920 "Navy Grey". A classic pair made in the UK, I had to pick these up because of the simple, yet eye-catching colour arrangement. I pretty much live in grey t-shirts and jeans, so this colourway is perfect to add to my daily uniform.


“These went above my expectations in terms of comfort. I won't hesitate to wear them on a long day out!”

How do they fit?
I tend to go half a size up with most shoes so that there's some breathing space. But because the New Balance 920 has a spacious fit in the middle, I went TTS and it fits perfectly.
Are they comfortable?
For a model that's not in New Balance's 99x lineage, these went above my expectations in terms of comfort. I won't hesitate to wear them on a long day out.
How do you style them?
When it comes to styling, I tend to go for straight fit trousers along with an oversized crewneck or hoodie from a Korean streetwear brand as they offer designs that are slightly different to what you'll usually find from European brands.
How do you clean them?
Do not ever use a brush to clean the New Balance 920, it's crafted with supple suede materials, and you defo don't want to damage that. I normally use a water repellant spray to avoid stains. I then use cleaning wipes on the midsoles when they get dirty.
What's your favourite colourway?
I've just added the Sneakersnstuff x New Balance 920 "Orange Green" to my collection, and it's no doubt one of the best colourways from the current NB920 roster! SNS really did a splendid job on this version.


NEW BALANCE 920: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
The New Balance 920 generally fits true to size. The midfoot area has a somewhat slight wide feel to it. However, this isn't a deal-breaker at all, so cop true to size and we promise you won't regret it! When cleaning the New Balance 920, simply be careful with what products you choose to use as they come with super-smooth suede textiles and breathable mesh accents. You can also expect maximum comfort at all times with the ENCAP midsole underfoot.
The Patta x New Balance 920 "Brown" and the MTA x New Balance "Grey" colourways are a couple of the coveted collabs, with plenty more on the way without a shadow of a doubt, including general release versions.
