New Balance U990NV4

The original designers of the 990 were tasked with creating the best running shoe on the market. The finished product more than met their expectations. When the 990 was first released in 1982, it came in an elegant, understated gray and was priced at a three-digit amount at the time. For enthusiastic runners and trendsetters alike, the 990 was a symbol of quality and excellent taste. Since 1982, the design has been updated and more color options have been introduced, but the aura of the 990 as an emerging status symbol has remained unchanged. Simply put, the 990 is a shoe so good that we have never stopped making it. The Made in USA 990v4, originally launched in 2016, further refines the modernized silhouette of the v3 model, featuring a more minimalist version of the mesh upper and pigskin suede overlays, along with optimized fine-tuning for cushioning.
