The designers of the first 990 were tasked with creating the single best running shoe on the market. The MADE in USA 990v6 embraces this original mandate, with a series of performance-inspired updates. The upper dispenses with the standard midfoot saddle, allowing the pigskin and synthetic overlays to flow from heel to toe across the mesh underlay, for a speedy, streamlined look. While the evolved design marks one of the most dramatic changes from one generation model to the next that the 990 has ever seen, the greatest leap forward occurs on the inside. The addition of FuelCell midsole cushioning means that the evolution of the 990 can be felt as much as it can be seen.

Brand
New Balance
In 1906, William J. Riley, a 33-year-old English immigrant, founded the New Balance Arch Support Company in Boston, producing insole arches and other accessories capable of improving the fit of shoes. The brand, now fourth in the world in the production of sneakers for athletes and lifestyle, known and represented worldwide, was already born with great attention to health and quality.
They continued to sell insole supports until 1961, when they designed the "Trackster," the first sports shoe with grooves in the sole for added grip. It was also the first shoe available in various widths.
The Trackster brought New Balance a reputation as an innovator and producer of cutting-edge shoes. The production is located between the United States and the European Union, boasting models named with precise numbering and high quality for men, women and kids.
