New Balance's Made in USA lines are orchestrated by industry mogul Teddy Santis. The 990v6 'Workwear' colourway is a pigskin suede and mesh construction that's bolstered by underfoot FuelCell foam and ENCAP cushioning technology. Reflective accents add utilitarian perks, while a TPU back tab adds further support and 'N' logos adorn the sidewalls. | U990TN6. One of the Boston label's most revered styles to date, New Balance continues to make waves with the 990 'Made in USA' model. Centering its focus around the 990v6, this time the model arrives in a warm, seasonal make-up. Luxe 'Workwear' pigskin suede provides a host for airy mesh underlays spotted on the midfoot, sides and tongue. 'N' branding graces the sidewalls, 990 inscribed logos sit on the heel, and the ENCAP-infused midsole cushions each stride. Signing off the design is a treaded rubber sole, offering durability that lasts. | U990TN6, Leather & Synthetic Upper/ Synthetic Sole. 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 pigskin 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. New Balance MADE contains a domestic value of 70% or more. MADE makes up a limited portion of New Balance’s US sales. | New Balance Unisex Made in USA 990v6 in Brown/Grey Leather, size 9
