Description 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 993 comes to the MADE in USA Seasonal Collection for the first time, with a mesh upper, overlaid with premium nubuck, outfitted in vivid interstellar purple, atop a dual color white and off-white midsole. New Balance MADE U.S. footwear contains a domestic value of 70% or more. MADE makes up a limited portion of New Balance U.S. sales.
