The New Balance Heritage running shoes, especially the 990, have become an integral part of people from all walks of life, from global role models to local legends.

It was originally developed as the best running shoe on the market. That was 40 years ago. Since then, there have been many design updates and more color options.

‍
However, the 990's status in the New Balance running shoe portfolio has never changed. The 990 series is just so good that New Balance almost never stopped producing it.

The updated 990v6 design omits the standard midfoot saddle, so pigskin and synthetic overlays run across the mesh upper from heel to toe.

‍
The biggest leap forward takes place inside. New Balance has given the 990 a midsole with FuelCell for the first time. As a result, not only has the look changed, but performance has also improved.
