The New Balance 990v2 MiUSA White Blue trainers combine a clean white base with neutral tan, black, and electric blue accents. Adding comfort and increasing breathability, the upper is crafted from lightweight mesh with suede overlays. The overlays feature tonal stitching and display the signature New Balance "N" logo patch in black leather with a blue outline. The Abzorb midsole provides soft cushioning and reveals the same color palette as the upper. Completing the look, the grippy rubber outsole comes in black, highlighting the black leather details on the upper. For instance, the plush tongue displays "990 NEW BALANCE MADE IN USA," while the heel showcases "USA." Both branding elements come in blue, complementing the "NEW BALANCE ATHLETIC SHOES" lettering on the insole. The New Balance 990v2 MiUSA White Blue was released on November 23, 2022, and sold for $195. Originally, the designers of the 990 aimed to create the best running shoe on the market, and the finished product exceeded all expectations. Upon its release in 1982, the 990 featured a subtly elegant grey color scheme and an unprecedented three-figure price tag. For dedicated runners and trendsetters alike, the 990 symbolized quality and good taste. The design has evolved since 1982, with more color options, but the ambition of the 990 has never changed. In short, the 990 is such a high-quality shoe that we’ve never stopped making it. The 990v2 features a premium upper and ABZORB midsole cushioning. New Balance MADE contains a national value of 70% or more. MADE represents a limited portion of New Balance's US sales.
