Generally, New Balance running shoes don’t require an overly elaborate introduction. As performance shoes, they were highly regarded equipment for serious runners. Their sterling reputation gave the classic silhouettes from the New Balance archive a new life in the casual/fashion world.

Running technology is evolving all the time; as a state of the art performance shoe, any given model has a limited amount of time in the spotlight. For a shoe to remain consistently popular after the fact is the hallmark of great design.

While the 990 has seen various iterations over time, the "V2" version intrduces the ABSORB midsole, retools the upper and upgrades it with new sole technology. 

New Balance men’s limited edition blue and black pig suede features a white and grey EVA foam midsole, ENCAP cushioning and "USA" embroidered on the heel.
