The legendary 990 is one of the most successful running silhouettes in the entire New Balance catalog. Originally developed with the express intent of being the priciest, top of the line running shoe on the market (which in 1982 meant hitting the $100 price tag), the 990 is one of those models that took on a life of its own, outside of the specific athletic field it was designed for.
New Balance's tagline describes the shoe as "worn by Supermodels in London and dads in Ohio," which sums up the 990s broad-based appeal perfectly. The combination of performance technology and refined but unassuming style imbues the 990 with a versatility that makes it an essential that transcends boundaries.
On the 990 v3, the sporty Made in the USA silhouette is defined by a high-performance mesh upper with premium suede overlays with ENCAP midsole cushioning and a padded heel cushioning and 3M detailing.
