The New Balance 998 in sage green is a premium heritage running sneaker reimagined for modern streetwear. Featuring a layered upper with suede, mesh, and synthetic overlays in tonal muted green, it offers refined texture contrast and breathability. The iconic 'N' logo appears in off-white stitched leather on the side, while the heel tab displays embossed '998' numerals—signifying its place in NB’s technical lineage. A dual-density ENCAP midsole combines EVA foam and a rubber rim for responsive cushioning and stability, complemented by a rugged rubber outsole with multi-directional lugs for traction. The padded collar and tongue ensure all-day comfort, while the clean, minimalist aesthetic makes it versatile for urban exploration. Ideal for casual daily wear, café outings, or layering in fall/winter street outfits, this model balances retro performance DNA with contemporary design sensibilities. Its understated colorway appeals to minimalist and heritage sneaker enthusiasts alike, offering timeless appeal without loud branding.
