New Balance described the sneaker as:

"A true embodiment of New Balance's timeless design and performance innovation returns to the MADE in USA lineup. The original 998, released in 1993, was the first shoe to utilize ABZORB cushioning. This revolutionary step forward in shock absorption was matched visually with a sleek updating of the classic 99X series look."

One of the defining features of the New Balance 998 is its "Made in USA" label, which signifies that the sneakers are manufactured in the United States. New Balance has a long-standing tradition of producing some of its models domestically, and the "Made in USA" line represents the brand's commitment to quality production and supporting American manufacturing.

While the NB 998 was initially designed as a running shoe, its retro design and comfort made it popular as casual footwear. Sneakerheads and fashion enthusiasts appreciated the classic and timeless style of the 998, contributing to its cult following.

The New Balance 998 incorporates the brand's signature EVA cushioning technology. This technology provides excellent support and stability, making the 998 a comfortable shoe for various activities.

In addition to EVA, the shoe also features ABZORB cushioning in the midsole, which is a foam-based cushioning material designed to absorb shock and provide enhanced comfort during activities like running or walking.
