The New Balance illustrious Made in USA line, overseen by creative director Teddy Santis, continues to impress. The “Dark Camo” 990v6 Sneaker is constructed with a blend of sporty mesh and premium suede, featuring “Made in USA” branding in its signature placements. It boasts a Mesh Upper, Suede Overlays, Lace Up Closure, Embroidered Branding, an ENCAP Midsole, FuelCell Technology, and a Rubber Outsole. The style code is U990WO6. The designers of the original 990 aimed to create the best running shoe available. The Made in USA 990v6 upholds this original objective with several performance-driven enhancements. The upper design eliminates the traditional midfoot saddle, allowing the suede and synthetic overlays to seamlessly extend from heel to toe over the mesh underlay, resulting in a swift and streamlined aesthetic. While this evolved design represents one of the most significant generational changes for the 990, the most substantial advancement is internal. The incorporation of FuelCell midsole cushioning ensures that the evolution of the 990 is as palpable as it is visible. New Balance Made in USA footwear incorporates a domestic value of at least 70%. Made in USA products constitute a small segment of New Balance's US sales.
