Ronnie Fieg is bringing us the Made in US 998 that features a design inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright’s Broadacre City concept. “Broadacre City is not a city at all, but a reimagining of how Wright envisioned people organizing themselves outside of dense urban environments; opting to live at a smaller scale among farms and forests, connecting with the land and with each other,” according to New Balance. This concept is brought to life with the earth-tone multi-color color blocking in a mix of premium pigskin suede, mesh, and hairy suede.

This design is created with Bio-EVA foam made with bio-based feedstocks from sugarcane and 40% cork insoles that are moisture absorbing (you get 2 pairs for when the first set breaks down). Nike is working towards its Move to Zero journey by replacing petroleum-based ingredients with environmentally friendly alternatives, and this creation is just another step in that direction. The ISPA is a versatile addition to your collection and perfect for those who value function and style.
