M990BK6 990v6 Made in the USA - Black

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 and ENCAP 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New Balance’s 550 originally made its mark on pro basketball courts in 1989. It was not seen again for 21 years. After being reintroduced to New Balance’s full-time lineup, the 550 quickly established itself as a global fashion fixture. A low top, streamlined silhouette offers a clean take on the heavy-duty designs of the late ‘80s, while the dependable leather and suede upper construction is a classic look in any era. The basketball oxford dressed in a crisp white outfit accentuated by teal highlights. As is typical of the model, much of the leather construction is clad in white, with complementing greys applied to the suede toe. The aforementioned greenish-blue tone, then, rounds out the palette, highlighting details such as the “N” logo, trims, sole unit, and the like.
