New Balance 990v6 Made in USA ‘Black Silver’

The New Balance 990v6 MiUSA Black Grey White continues to deliver the original New Balance 990 goal of a perfect running shoe by combining FuelCell technology on the midsole and a fabric lining in grey tones. The body of the New Balance 990v6 has a mesh underlay in a black hue. A dark suede overlay starts on the mudguard and proceeds to cover the circumference of the border between the shoe and the sole. On the quarter panels, a mix of mesh base, black suede, grey synthetic strips, and the “N” New Balance branding in light grey are present. A similar overlay design appears on the heel.

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.
