New Balance 998

Leather: Natural and high quality material valued for its durability, strength and longevity. Thanks to its natural structure, it gradually adapts to the shape of the foot and ensures high wearing comfort. It is breathable, helps regulate moisture and maintains an optimal microclimate inside the shoe. Leather is the ideal choice for footwear where comfort, functionality and a timeless look are emphasised.

Textile: is a lightweight material, which is offered in a very wide color scale and is mainly used for summer footwear.

ABZORB®: Cutting-edge cushioning technology developed by New Balance. It is a blend of isoprene rubber and special foam that is designed to absorb and dissipate the energy generated when the foot hits the ground. Unlike conventional foams, ABZORB® retains its shape and cushioning properties for longer. Thanks to its excellent compression resistance, it effectively protects the joints and musculoskeletal system, while ensuring a high level of comfort even under prolonged loading on hard surfaces.

Rubber: It is one of the most widely used materials for the production of soles due to its high mechanical resistance and durability. The main advantage of rubber soles is their excellent grip (traction) on different types of surfaces, which minimises the risk of slipping. The material is naturally flexible, waterproof and effectively absorbs shocks during walking. Depending on the compound, the rubber can be either soft for better contact with the ground or hard for maximum abrasion resistance on rough terrain.
