Pretty Springtime Pastels Decorate the New Balance 992 "Easter"

We’re sure we don’t need to be the ones to tell you this, but New Balance are killing it right now. From the retro-style 550s to elevated dad shoes like the Paperboy 991 and Aimé Leon Dore 993, the Boston Brand are bringing some serious heat to the sneaker game. The latest pair to join the brand’s line-up puts a spring-themed spin on the fan-fave 992, so allow us to introduce the New Balance 992 “Easter".

The “Easter” 992 comes dressed in varying spring-like pastel shades, a common feature of Easter edition sneakers. To the front of the shoe, a green herringbone-textured canvas base dresses the toe box, whilst a lilac suede lovingly wraps its way around the toe cap. Muted mauve leather overlays then allow the pastel canvas to peek through like little painted eggs, before shades of yellow take over on the eyestays, sidewalls and mudguards.

Moving further back, the 992’s “N” logo comes dressed in pastel pink with a crisp white shadow, allowing it to pop against the yellow suede sidewall. The canvas base then changes its shade closer to the ankle, where it takes on a bright baby blue, although the mauve overlays remain the same.

Finally, a pinky-beige suede wraps itself around the heel, whilst green sockliners add a final detail to the sneaker’s upper. Underfoot, the 992 “Easter” sees the crisp white midsole come painted with pastel details. A matching lilac shade dresses the front of the foot, whilst tonal pink and green colour pops highlight the ABZORB cushioning. This comes finished with a pinky-beige outsole to round off the “Easter” 992 colourway.

We have to say, the 992 silhouette works as the perfect canvas for the Easter theme, with the silhouette’s cutouts being the icing on the cake. Judging by the amount of heat we’ve seen so far from New Balance this year, we’re sure 2022 is going to be huge for them.

Looking to get your hands on the “Easter” New Balance 992? The pair have already dropped over in the US, but a UK date remains under wraps for now. For the time being, be sure to download our app and keep it locked, as we’ll be the first to let you know when we hear more.
