The Top Pairs from Teddy Santis’ New Balance Made in USA FW26 Collection

Teddy Santis is back once again delivering heat to the coveted New Balance Made in USA franchise in his latest FW26 capsule. Rather than treating individual colourways as standalone drops, the Fall/Winter 2026 collection is one big hefty package of seasonal themed drops, a clear but gradual shift in weight, texture, and tone mapped from the SS26 drop. The roadmap centres on four of the brands best silhouettes: the 990v4, 992, 993, and 1300. What separates this capsule from previous runs is the deliberate progression to winter themed tactile finishes. Drops do not merely introduce new palettes; they adjust the actual weight of the shoes by adding thicker, more durable materials to match the turn of the weather.

Below, we rank our Top 10 drops from the NB Made in USA Fall/Winter 26 Collection ahead of the upcoming rollout.

1. New Balance Made in USA 992 ‘Sport Green / Interstellar / Arctic Grey’

Breaking from the earthy tones of the earlier releases, this NB 992 pairs vivid green and deep purple hues over classic suede and mesh.

2. New Balance Made in USA 992 ‘Black / Afterglow / NB Navy’

A classic sport-leather execution acting as a seasonal anchor. Smooth black and navy leather panelling is balanced by cream accents, offering an understated option late in the schedule.

3. New Balance Made in USA 993 ‘Shadow Blue / Cortado / Black’

Textural complexity takes centre stage here through embossed pigskin suede. The cool shadow blue finish gives the classic 993 silhouette a distinct, modern identity heading into winter.

4. New Balance Made in USA 992 ‘Medusa Green / Cortado / Thunder Brown’

Heavy-gauge pigskin suede, structured nubuck, and rich Horween leather come together on this mid-season anchor. The deep green and dark earth tones capture the autumnal material progression perfectly.

5. New Balance Made in USA 990v4 ‘NB Navy / Meteorite / Kombu’

A subtle, low-key iteration of the 990v4 featuring dense nubuck uppers. The combination of navy, slate grey, and dark olive kombu green creates a complex, dark tonal blend.

6. New Balance 990v4 ‘Monarch Burgundy / Pumpernickel’

Trading lightweight summer mesh for structured nubuck, this drop signals the shift into late autumn. The combination of deep burgundy and warm pumpernickel offers a rich, muted palette ideal for colder weather.

7. New Balance 1300 ‘Sea Salt / Blue Oyster / Mulled Wine’

A clean early-season palate cleanser. Cream-colored embossed pig suede provides a neutral base, while subtle pops of deep blue and burgundy bring just enough contrast to the retro runner.

8. New Balance 993 ‘Morel / Timberwolf / Black’

Releasing alongside the Grey Violet 990v4, this pair utilises textured hairy suede to deliver a warmer, dusty finish suited for the start of the season.

9. New Balance Made in USA 990v4 ‘Grey Violet / Timberwolf’

Leading the initial September launch, this 990v4 introduces tactile hairy suede in a soft lilac shade. It sets a lighter, transitional tone for the early autumn rollout.
