Description
Unveiled via Instagram and touted as a Made In USA proposition, the sixth iteration of the 990 series – which has been celebrating its 40th anniversary – visually and structurally updates New Balance‘s beloved heritage design for the next 40 years.
Taking a more rounded shape than the earlier 990s, the sneaker features grey mesh and grey suede with 3M reflective accents. The N logo is still seen on the medial and lateral sides with 990 branding featured on the lateral heel and on the tongue. The chunkier midsole features Fuelcell cushioning for the first time for the 990 with a black and grey rubber outsole finishing off the sneaker.
Design language across the upper also receives an update, opting for a sportier look achieved by more curved lines and chiseled components.
