Action Bronson once again blurs the borders of sneaker culture with the “Cosmic Rose” New Balance 992 — a dreamlike burst of red unveiled in cinematic fashion. The surprise reveal happened on the red carpet at the premiere of Caught Stealing, making the sneaker itself part of the spectacle. The shoe balances earthy orange mesh with bold magenta suede overlays, an explosive palette softened by pale blue hits on the heel. Grey tongues and tonal laces anchor the design, letting the clash of color breathe rather than overwhelm. Underneath, the 992 stays true to form with its ENCAP cushioning and ABZORB comfort — a reminder that function grounds even the wildest palette. As the second teased entry in Bronson’s Baklava-stamped 992 series this year, the “Cosmic Rose” feels like both a statement and a foreshadowing. Rumors place retail around $250 USD, with a release expected before year’s end through Bronson’s Baklava site and possibly via New Balance channels.
