The New Balance 990 is an icon with roots in running and a legacy that extends far beyond. Version 6 enhances the design with performance-inspired updates, featuring a FuelCell midsole for exceptional comfort and a midfoot saddle for improved upper flow. This model boasts a mesh upper with pigskin suede and synthetic overlays, a lace-up closure, reflective accents, a FuelCell midsole, and a rubber outsole. First launched in 1982 with the aim of being the best possible sneaker, the 990 has been continuously updated with that same objective. The New Balance 990v6 Grey, released on November 4th, 2022, showcases a grey color scheme with a mesh base and premium suede overlays. Branding elements include 'V6' in red on the tongue. The sole unit features a contoured midsole with curved heel lines and a rubber outsole, utilizing ABZORB, Fuel Cell, and ENCAP cushioning technologies. Note: There are two versions of this shoe with the same style ID but slight heel variations; one features an NB logo, and the other an American flag. Both versions are acceptable.
