Maybe it's me but the 990v3 is the best version of the 990 ever. It is firm with just the right amount of cushion. The foot bed isn't too narrow or wide. I've bought later versions and they felt wrong or off kilter. So I am very glad I went back to the 990v3. I had to buy the men's 7.5 because the women's 9 didn't come in black. Frankly, I may buy the men's 7.5 again since it feels amazing. My dalliance with Brooks and Nike again ... over. Back to the 990v3 forever. Don't stop making this one!!!

I'm so, SO happy the OG 990 was recently offered up again as a general release. I, too, turn 40 this yr and I've always admired these. The "Version 1" SEs are outstanding, so are these GRs. The QUALITY of the materials simply has to be beheld in-hand & on-foot to be believed. My words cannot do this soft, smooth & plush suede justice, and the Vibram sole will last for miles. I've always admired the straightforward styling and clean lines; it's an elegantly simple & smart looking shoe. And now having worn mine for several days, I can vouch the old tech was ahead of it's time & the 990 is a comfortable all-day shoe. Surprising, in a way, due to its age, but the dual density cushioning is both soft & firm. Unlike B%st, they don't feel overly bouncy at the end of a long ... MoreI'm so, SO happy the OG 990 was recently offered up again as a general release.

The 1st 990 has remained my favorite despite, or maybe b/c of, all the later (wackier) iterations. Thanks again, NB, for the opportunity to double up on an absolute legend. I'm a 990v1 customer for life going forward so please, PLEASE KEEP these on the menu! The OG 990 built the brand (40 yrs ago!) and still reigns as king of the NB catalogue.The legend lives on (and I'm here for it)!*I recommend true to size, the fit is spot-on

The 990v3 has easily become my favorite sneaker. The design is perfect and the comfort is amazing, like walking on a cloud. The Teddy Santis colorways are what really caught my attention; Marblehead/Incense, Sea Salt/Rain Cloud, Moonbeam/Macadamia Nut and recently, from the S2 Collection, Grey/Blue. I just placed an order for a pair in the classic Grey/White as well. My shoe size is an 11.5 (US) XX-Wide, and although the 990v3 are only available in a Standard, I ordered them regardless because I liked the look of them so much, I figured I'll just commit to breaking them in. Unfortunately, they were a bit too snug in width to commit lol. So, I took a chance on ordering a size 12 (US), hoping they weren't much longer in length and still snug in width, and they ended ... MoreThe 990v3 has easily become my favorite sneaker.

There's only a bit of a difference in length and a significant difference in width. The Made in USA price is fair and my orders are always shipped fast. New Balance's customer service is excellent, too. I'm a customer for life.

The New Balance V900v3 have exceeded my expectations in every aspect. The lightweight design provides an effortless stride, while the responsive cushioning absorbs impact, ensuring a smooth and comfortable running experience. The traction on various surfaces is exceptional, providing confidence and stability. Additionally, the iconic and stylish appearance is an added bonus. The New Balance V900v3 is a true winner, offering outstanding performance and unmatched comfort. Highly recommended for runners of all levels!
Great for everyday wear and long walks! Super comfy! I did learn from the Pedorthic specialist at the shoe store, I needed a half size larger in this shoe. Just because you are used to buying a certain size does not mean you wear the same size in every shoe! I purchased an 8.5 instead of and 8 and what a huge difference! It is important that the widest part of your foot land where the widest part of the shoe is and that your arch lands on the arch of the shoe. not too far forward or too far back! If you haven't had your feet measured by a professional, by all means do so. The "better" shoe stores usually have someone trained to do this. It makes a big difference! I just wish these came in more colors! a dark purple would be amazing! (Hint) :) I will be purchasing ... MoreGreat for everyday wear and long walks! Super comfy!

Premium pig skin suede and stable encap foam makes it hard to not fall in love with the shoes. The colorway may be confusing but in my opinion it looks like a dark olive grey tone of suede in the "grey/blue" tone. Do go a half size down for a true fit. I wear a 10 for js, and a 10 for sambas and they fit true to size but for this shoe I recommend going half a size down (9.5). I also have a very narrow foot and they fit well on the sides . I prefer a snug fit on shoes and these will fit more better for those with normal and wider foot shapes but it doesn't mean they don't fit narrow feet just I prefer a snugger feel on all my shoes I wear. Length wise it's perfect my toes barely touch the toe upper in a comfortable way. I recommend these shoes highly if you're never ... MorePremium pig skin suede and stable encap foam makes it hard to not fall in love with the shoes.

I am more than happy to support manufacturers that produce products at home in the US, and I don't mind paying more, so these shoes were a no-brainer. The 990v3's are aesthetically beautiful and seem to be very well constructed- nice job New Balance!! I would say; however, to be careful about the sizing. In an imported 574 I wear a 9.5, and went down a half size on these, but I'm thinking that I really should have gone a full size down to an 8.5, as they seem a little roomy. Again, it's a quality shoe with a straight last- great for an overpronator like me. I wear a "D" in a dress shoe and despite other reviews I've read these are a true medium width. Plenty of room in the heel too! Since I've already worn them I'll wear a thicker padded sock to hopefully make them ... MoreI am more than happy to support manufacturers that produce products at home in the US, and I don't mind paying more, so these shoes were a no-brainer.

The yellow paint on the heel started cracking/peeling immediately just from trying these on around the house. I didn't even wear them outside. I don't expect this from a shoe of this price point and purported quality. I was hoping it would be a shoe that would age well.Iv'e seen pics on reddit of the same thing happening on the 990v5s.It's one thing if the paint starts cracking/peeling after the shoe has aged under heavy use. But this is happening immediately on some shoes. There are certain models that I will avoid completely until they address this.
Love the color and materials. However, this V3 feels smaller than my others. I'm a true size 12 and I go a 1/2 size down in V3s. These feel a bit tighter compared to my Marbleheads and Bodegas (I compared them to the Marbleheads and could see the slight difference). I noticed this inconsistency in sizing with my core grey V3s which fit a bit tight and the 12 it was a bit too roomy. Not sure why the sizing is a little off with NB recently. Would've loved to try a size 12 but overall still very solid shoe.
New Balance is comfortable, so I took this opportunity to buy it from Finish Line. They shipped right after confirming the order, so I was able to receive the product in a short time. The product was also very good because it came without any problems with double packaging.Currently, it is out of stock on the official New Balance website, so I decided to buy something else. However, I was able to purchase this product because it was left in the finish line. I was so happy to be able to give myself such a perfect gift.Lastly they deliver perfect. It was really convenient to help with tracking by message.
