The New Balance 990v6 MiUSA Grey (Women's) offered up a modern take on these shoes and helped usher them into a new era. The upper on this New Balance 990v6 was made out of suede with synthetic overlays and mesh underlays. It also had a texture to it to provide it with a more premium look and feel. There were also several different shades of grey incorporated into the mix that worked well with the white in part of the midsole. The best part about this sneaker was all the technology crammed into it. It featured FuelCell foam to make it more responsive as well as ENCAP cushioning in the midsole to make it more comfortable overall. The New Balance 990v6 MiUSA Grey (Women's) was released on November 4, 2022, when it retailed for $200. The designers of the first 990 were tasked with creating the single best running shoe on the market. The MADE in USA 990v6 embraces this original mandate, with a series of performance-inspired updates. The upper dispenses with the standard midfoot saddle, allowing the pigskin and synthetic overlays to flow from heel to toe across the mesh underlay, for a speedy, streamlined look. While the evolved design marks one of the most dramatic changes from one generation model to the next that the 990 has ever seen, the greatest leap forward occurs on the inside. The addition of FuelCell midsole cushioning means that the evolution of the 990 can be felt as much as it can be seen. New Balance MADE contains a domestic value of 70% or more. MADE makes up a limited portion of New Balance’s US sales.
