With roots in running but a legacy that goes so much further, the New Balance 990 is an icon in its own right. Version 6 sees the pair updated with some performance-inspired updates, like FuelCell midsole cushioning for unbeatable comfort and a midfoot saddle for better flow on the upper. Mesh Upper, Pigskin Suede & Synthetic Overlays, Lace Up Closure, Reflective Accents, FuelCell Midsole, Rubber Outsole. The New Balance 990 was created in 1982 with the goal of being the best possible sneaker, and since then, it has been updated with the same objective. The MADE in USA 990v6 reprises that original goal with performance-inspired updates. The upper has a midfoot saddle for better flow, and the plush feel of FuelCell cushioning is in the midsole for a comfortable ride. MADE in USA shoes have a suggested retail price of $200 or more and are a limited portion of New Balance's US sales.
