Originally launched in 1982 as a groundbreaking performance runner, the New Balance 990 quickly earned its place as a symbol of premium quality and refined taste, thanks to its sleek grey colorway and then-unprecedented price point. Revered by both serious runners and style-conscious wearers, the 990 has evolved through the decades while maintaining its iconic status. The MADE in USA 990v4, released in 2016, builds on the modernized silhouette of its predecessor with a streamlined mesh and pigskin suede upper and refined cushioning. Featuring ENCAP midsole technology that blends lightweight foam with a durable polyurethane rim, the 990v4 delivers comfort and support with every step. Proudly made in the USA, it reflects New Balance’s legacy of craftsmanship, with at least 70% domestic value in its construction.
