The New Balance illustrious Made in USA line, overseen by creative director Teddy Santis, continues to excel. The “Dark Camo” 990v6 Sneaker is constructed with a blend of sporty mesh and premium suede, featuring the signature “Made in USA” branding. Key features include a mesh upper, suede overlays, a lace-up closure, embroidered branding, an ENCAP midsole, FuelCell Technology, and a rubber outsole. Style Code: U990WO6. The designers of the original 990 aimed to create the best running shoe on the market, and the Made in USA 990v6 upholds this principle with performance-inspired updates. The upper removes the standard midfoot saddle, allowing suede and synthetic overlays to seamlessly transition from heel to toe over the mesh underlay for a streamlined aesthetic. While the evolved design represents one of the most significant generational changes for the 990, the most impactful advancements are internal. The inclusion of FuelCell midsole cushioning ensures the evolution of the 990 is both perceptible and visible. New Balance Made in USA footwear typically contains a domestic value of 70% or more, representing a limited portion of New Balance's overall US sales.
