New Balance U990TN6

The designers of the first 990 had the task of developing the best running shoe on the market. The Made in USA 990v6 honors this original mission with a host of functional updates. The upper material forgoes the usual saddle in the midfoot area, allowing the overlays of pigskin and synthetic materials to flow freely over the mesh underlay from the heel to the toe. The result is a sleek, dynamic look. However, while the revamped design of the 990 showcases a never-before-seen, drastic change from one model generation to the next, the most significant leap in development occurs within the shoe itself. The newly introduced FuelCell midsole cushioning ensures that the evolution of the 990 is not only felt but also visible.
