We’re lowkey surprised we haven’t caught wind of a New Balance 983 collaboration yet, many of the brand’s recent retro running inspired lifestyle cuts, namely the 1890, coming out of the gate with a-lister collaborator names attached. The cleanliness of the general releases we’ve been seeing has been pretty strong, though, continuing on here with a new “Stone/Driftwood” arrangement for Fall/Winter 2026.
This one favors suede overlays rather than the glossy, almost patent leather that’s held down a lot of the upcoming colorways. The suede exterior pieces are done in Driftwood, followed by Stone leather underlays and a matching mesh foundation. The ABZORB cushioned midsole follows suit with matching colors for a true monochrome build.
The New Balance 983 “Stone/Driftwood” is due out Fall/Winter 2026 via New Balance and select retailers, priced at $160. Check out detailed images below if you’re set on a pair.
