New Balance’s Soft Pink Dad Shoe Is a Surprising Thirst-Quencher

Written by Morgan Smith in Sneakers

New Balance's next 992 sneaker is pretty, pink, and surprisingly mouthwatering.

The Steve Jobs-approved dad sneaker has received a new "Pink Chalk" makeover, with "Pink Lemonade" and "Cherry Leather" accents. The results are a pinked-out dad shoe that hit the spot, complete with soft textures and tasty dark burgundy accents.

Coming back from a brief hiatus, the New Balance 992 looks as good (and dad-ish) as it did before, if not better. It has returned in some classic outfits, including the famous grey pairs co-signed by Apple's late CEO. At the same time, the newer 992s have been just as good, ranging from summery "Sea Stone" options to pistachio-flavored dad shoes.
