The 990 is one of New Balance’s most enduring styles. This version comes in a vintage rose pink suede, complemented with beige details throughout the laces, midsole and ‘N’ logo branding. Made in the USA, they’re part of a legacy of high-quality craftsmanship. Packed with signature FuelCell midsole cushioning, they’re comfortable and stylish in equal measure. Featuring a mesh upper, pigskin suede & synthetic overlays, FuelCell Foam, ENCAP Midsole Cushioning, reflective branding, TPU inserts, and a rubber outsole. 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 suede 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. As part of the MADE in USA Seasonal Collection, the updated silhouette features pastel 'vintage rose', accented by sea salt.
