New Balance 990 – The quintessential Made in USA sneaker
The New Balance 990 is the ultimate benchmark for premium comfort and American manufacturing in the sneaker world: made in the United States since 1982, the 990 has reached its V6 version while maintaining the same values of material quality, superior comfort, and a discreet, timeless aesthetic. At Next Step, you’ll find the most sought-after 990 colorways.
Design and features
The 990 stands out for its use of premium suede and nylon mesh on the upper, the N logo in high-quality leather, and ENCAP and Blown Rubber technology in the midsole and outsole. Its color palette is deliberately sober: mainly grays, blacks, and browns, making it the most elegant sneaker in the NB catalog.
Materials and technology
- Upper made of premium Made in USA suede and high-quality nylon mesh, with reinforced stitching and superior finishes.
- ENCAP technology in the midsole with an EVA core and polyurethane perimeter for maximum comfort.
- Blown Rubber outsole for maximum grip and durability, the same original high-end running technology.
