New Balance launched the 983 this fall as its next big lifestyle model, and the “Cherry” colorway might be the best argument for it so far. Cherry Leather over Dark Night, glossy burgundy panels sitting on top of the chunkiest retro runner sole New Balance has shipped in a minute. It hits newbalance.com and select retailers November 1 at 159.99 dollars.
The 983 is a greatest-hits build. It reworks 2000s performance running through a modern lens, pulling details from classic New Balance silhouettes into something that stands on its own, with elliptical ABZORB SBS pods stacked on a wave-like midsole. The rounded upper over the thick sole gives it that Y2K runner profile everyone is chasing right now. Style code U9835HT.
Cherry is the colorway that keeps the momentum going. The Shadow Blue and Red Patent pairs built the early buzz, and this burgundy take is the most wearable of the bunch in my opinion. Red leather on a runner is a November mood if there ever was one. Resale is already sitting comfortably above retail with Flight Club asks around 239, so the market clearly agrees.
My advice is to grab this one at retail while the 983 is still a newer name. Once a New Balance model breaks through, the early colorways always look like steals in hindsight. If you miss the drop, the resale spread is not brutal yet, but it will not stay that way if this silhouette keeps its heat.
