Suede and mesh upper. ENCAP midsole cushioning with lightweight foam and a durable polyurethane rim provide all-day support. Premium synthetic suede sockliner. Rubber toe bumper and outsole. Traditional lacing system. Reflective accents. New Balance USA branding at the tongue. Reflective N logo at the sides. The beloved 990v3 is back being offered in New Balance’s signature grey colorway. Predominantly crafted from pigskin suede and mesh, the sneaker is outfitted with ENCAP midsole cushioning that provides all-day support. As the model is made in the USA, it boasts New Balance USA branding as well as reflective “N” logos that shimmer in the light. New Balance’s 990 series has been rejuvenated in a major way as the brand continues to celebrate the iconic franchise and subsequently crank out new colorways and OG reissues alike. The original 990 made waves in the early 1980s when it became the first running shoe with a three-figure price tag. In the years since, New Balance has consistently perfected the design with new versions that remain known for their superior comfort.
