Originally introduced in 2008, the 993 combined elements of the two previous 99X series models, the 991 and 992, into one, streamlined design, and fine-tuned the ABZORB midsole cushioning. The technical sophistication of the Made in USA 993 features a driftwood brown mesh upper, overlaid with premium hairy suede in shadow grey, atop a dual color white and off-white midsole. New Balance Made in USA footwear contains a domestic value of 70% or more.
