I have many pairs of 990 v3's including ones i designed at the now defunct NB1 site. I wear these shoes for casual wear primarily but also for workouts and walking. This latest release in green and tan is very attractive. They fit to size, they are comfortable, and they are well made. If you like the color scheme they are well worth the purchase price.

These are perhaps my 10th pair of New Balance sneakers‚Ķthe only ones I will wear for long walks. I also have a black pair and a gray pair. But when I saw these in the green and tan, I had to have them. Nothing I have ever seen looks as good as these‚Ķand just like my others, they are so comfortable‚Ķand made in America! üëç

This is not my first pair of 990 series. I've been wearing them for years(991,992,V5) and they're always great. I decided to go with a non-grey pair this time and I love them, as always. It's always great to buy US Made. Supports Americans and ensures no child labor is involved.
These shoes caught my eye from the first time. I love the sturdy build and iconic look of the 990's. Love the color...they will look great in Augusta in April!
Leather/suede is buttery soft on these. Believe it's the same used on the 992LX. Everything is spot on but the tongue waffle (not present)
The ""N"" on my shoes wasn't glued down the best way possible. I took them to the shoe store. Other than that the colors and make of this sneaker is nice.

These shoes can not be returned. Make sure you read the product description before you purchase. I ordered a sz6 and they were too big. A Men's size 6 is not the same as a kids size 6.
I love where New Balance Made line is going under the creative direction of Teddy Santis. The color palette on this model is amazing. Material quality is high. Overall I'm happy with the pick up
