The 990’s original designers were tasked with creating the single best running shoe on the market. The finished product more than lived up to its billing. When it hit shelves for the first time in 1982 the 990 sported an elegantly understated grey colorway, and a then unheard of three-figure price tag. For avid runners and ahead of the curve tastemakers alike, the 990 was a mark of quality and superior taste. There have been updates to the design since ’82, and more color options, but the 990’s aspirational status symbol aura has never changed. Simply put, the 990 is the shoe so good, that we’ve never stopped making it. The MADE in USA 990v4, originally introduced in 2016, continued to refine the v3's modernization of the silhouette. This new addition to the Seasonal Collection features a premium leather and mesh upper in classic white and forest green. New Balance MADE U. S. footwear contains a domestic value of 70% or more. MADE makes up a limited portion of New Balance’s U. S. sales. The New Balance 990v4 MiUSA White Green adds Forest Green and subtle Calcium accents to the Made in USA 990v4‚ crisp white base.The upper is crafted from premium leather, suede, and breathable mesh. However, while the mesh comes in clean white, some of the leather and suede overlays feature Calcium, and others display tonal white. Splashes of eye-catching Forest Green can be found on the New Balance‚ logo, the durable laces, the heel, and the logo tag on the mesh tongue. ENCAP cushioning creates a supportive feel underfoot and complements the foam midsole. Inspired by the original 990 that debuted in 1982, this version boasts a performance-first design and an understated colorway. Our experts at StockX appreciate the contrast between the Calcium and white midsole and the all-black rubber outsole.
