The New Balance 990 is an icon that originated from running but has evolved into a lifestyle staple. This Version 6 enhances the classic silhouette with performance-driven updates, including FuelCell midsole cushioning for superior comfort and a midfoot saddle for improved midfoot support. The design features a mesh upper with pigskin suede and synthetic overlays, a lace-up closure, and reflective accents. The FuelCell midsole and rubber outsole provide both comfort and durability. This iconic shoe is proudly Made in USA, with the MADE in USA 990v6 embracing its original mandate to be the best running shoe possible, featuring performance-inspired updates. The upper presents a streamlined look with pigskin and synthetic overlays flowing from heel to toe over a mesh underlay, a departure from the traditional midfoot saddle. The most significant evolution is the integration of FuelCell midsole cushioning, making the 990v6's advancements as palpable as they are visible. New Balance MADE footwear contains a domestic value of 70% or more and represents a limited portion of the brand's US sales.
