New Balance MADE Responsibly 998

The new design is sustainably made and reinterprets the 998 with the partial use of excess materials.

The MADE Responsibly program continues to offer new solutions that take a more sustainable approach in creating its flagship models like the new MADE Responsibly 998. As part of New Balance’s ongoing commitment to sustainability, MADE Responsibly combines excess and new materials to create a unique and unrepeatable product each time.

MADE Responsibly 998 is made with a mix of excess and new materials sourced from stock materials. Excess materials include pigskin overlays, mesh, lining, laces, speedlace, collar straps, and outsole. New materials are used to line the inside of the shoe and include foams, counter, and box toe.

New Balance has produced a limited number of MADE Responsibly 998 sneakers, available for €180 on NewBalance.it until supplies last.
