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.

The name New Balance stands for quality. So it's no wonder that the brand can look back on a 100-year company history. Their slogan "a more intelligent approach to building shoes" describes the ethos of the company very aptly. New Balance sneakers are consistently designed for the best possible performance, but without disregarding the aesthetic aspect. Over the years, the brand from Boston has pursued a clear design language and was long considered a niche brand among die-hard fans. Thanks to the dad sneaker trend, New Balance sneakers have become the epitome of this style, which has increased the demand for the models from the "9 series" immensely. The 990 in particular is in the spotlight here. Made in the USA, this sneaker represents the history of New Balance like no other model. With three production sites in the USA, the UK and China, New Balance manages to provide a diverse product portfolio. In addition to the classics like the 574, 997 or the 1500, the designers are always working on new models and bringbacks from the archives. However, all products have the same basic idea in common: to deliver the perfect mix of performance and fashion. That's exactly what New Balance lovers appreciate.
