Military grey and urban black move across a premium suede upper in a palette that references military utility and urban minimalism simultaneously, softened at the base by angora-toned tonal detailing that prevents the shoe from reading as purely tactical. Released in January 2025, it is the most recent and most considered JJJJound x New Balance release to date.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy You'll Love It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eJJJJound x New Balance collaboration — the second chapter of Justin Saunders’ partnership with New Balance’s Made in USA line, following the critically acclaimed M992J2 Grey\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMade in USA — manufactured at New Balance’s American factories, carrying the full heritage and craftsmanship premium of the domestic production line\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMilitary Urban Grey and Black colorway — a tactical, utilitarian palette of military grey and deep black with angora-toned base detailing; references military utility and urban minimalism in equal measure\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePremium suede upper with the 993’s robust multi-panel construction — the most material-forward execution of JJJJound’s design philosophy on New Balance’s most technically demanding Made in USA platform\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eENCAP and ABZORB dual-cushioning system — the 993’s renowned midsole technology combining a polyurethane ring with foam core for exceptional stability and all-day support; widely considered the most technically sophisticated cushioning system in New Balance’s Made in USA lineup\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDurable rubber outsole with multi-directional heritage traction pattern\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLow-top profile with round toe — the 993’s robust American running heritage in a collector-grade collaborative execution\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePairs with black, charcoal, olive, army green, navy, and all military and urban-utilitarian outfit palettes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFull size run in Men’s US, Women’s US, and EU sizing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e U993JJ\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries:\u003c\/strong\u003e New Balance 993\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCollaboration:\u003c\/strong\u003e JJJJound (Justin Saunders)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNickname:\u003c\/strong\u003e Military Urban Grey Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColorway:\u003c\/strong\u003e Military Urban Grey \/ Black \/ Angora\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Made in USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 16, 2025\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUpper Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Suede\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMidsole:\u003c\/strong\u003e ENCAP + ABZORB Dual Cushioning\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSole Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rubber Outsole\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClosure:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lace-Up\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProfile:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low Top\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eToe Shape:\u003c\/strong\u003e Round Toe\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOccasion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lifestyle \/ Military \/ Urban \/ Collector\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSizing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Men’s US 4–11, with Women’s US and EU conversions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSizing Guide\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe New Balance 993 fits true to size.

The \u003cstrong\u003eM992J2 'Grey'\u003c\/strong\u003e (2020) is the more minimal, tonal execution — a warm greyish-brown palette that disappears into your wardrobe. The \u003cstrong\u003eU993JJ 'Military Urban Grey Black'\u003c\/strong\u003e (2025) is more directional and material-forward — a tactical dark palette on New Balance’s most technically robust platform. The 993 is a heavier, more structured shoe with a slightly broader silhouette; the 992 is more refined and slim. Choose the 993 if you want the bolder, more technical JJJJound statement; choose the 992 if you want the quieter, more wardrobe-integrated one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout JJJJound and the New Balance 993\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJJJJound is the creative agency of Justin Saunders — a Montreal-based designer whose influence across fashion, sneaker culture, and design has made him one of the most referenced taste-makers of his generation. His New Balance collaborations are defined by the same principles as his broader work: extreme restraint, material quality, and the quiet authority of things chosen with complete precision. The New Balance 993 is the brand’s most technically demanding Made in USA silhouette — a shoe built for maximum performance support, with ENCAP and ABZORB cushioning and a robust suede construction that ages exceptionally well. The U993JJ brings JJJJound’s design sensibility to that platform in a military-utilitarian palette that is as close to a tactical sneaker as JJJJound has ever gone — and all the more compelling for it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"New Balance","offers":[{"title":"Men's US 4 \/ Women's US 5.5 \/ EU 36","offer_id":48293235785886,"sku":"U993JJ","price":189.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Men's US 4.5 \/ Women's US 6 \/ EU 37","offer_id":48293235818654,"sku":"U993JJ","price":189.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Men's US 5 \/ Women's US 6.5 \/ EU 37.5","offer_id":48293235851422,"sku":"U993JJ","price":189.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Men's US 5.5 \/ Women's US 7 \/ EU 38","offer_id":48293235884190,"sku":"U993JJ","price":189.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Men's US 6 \/ Women's US 7.5 \/ EU 38.5","offer_id":48293235916958,"sku":"U993JJ","price":189.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Men's US 6.5 \/ Women's US 8 \/ EU 39.5","offer_id":48293235949726,"sku":"U993JJ","price":189.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Men's US 7 \/ Women's US 8.5 \/ EU 40","offer_id":48293235982494,"sku":"U993JJ","price":189.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Men's US 7.5 \/ Women's US 9 \/ EU 40.5","offer_id":48293236015262,"sku":"U993JJ","price":189.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Men's US 8 \/ Women's US 9.5 \/ EU 41.5","offer_id":48293236048030,"sku":"U993JJ","price":189.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Men's US 8.5 \/ Women's US 10 \/ EU 42","offer_id":48293236080798,"sku":"U993JJ","price":189.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Men's US 9 \/ Women's US 10.5 \/ EU 42.5","offer_id":48293236113566,"sku":"U993JJ","price":189.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Men's US 9.5 \/ Women's US 11 \/ EU 43","offer_id":48293236146334,"sku":"U993JJ","price":189.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Men's US 10 \/ Women's US 11.5 \/ EU 44","offer_id":48293236179102,"sku":"U993JJ","price":189.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Men's US 10.5 \/ Women's US 12 \/ EU 44.5","offer_id":48293236211870,"sku":"U993JJ","price":189.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Men's US 11 \/ Women's US 12.5 \/ EU 45","offer_id":48293236244638,"sku":"U993JJ","price":189.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0768\/9781\/2638\/files\/main-square_78907093-ee43-4e8f-94d6-eb501a554831.jpg?v=1789394766","url":"https:\/\/www.kicklifes.com\/products\/new-balance-x-jjjjound-993-made-in-usa-military-urban-grey-black-u993jj","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
