The New Balance 990 sneaker, which was first introduced in 1982 as a top-notch technical runner after extensive sneaker research spanning over four years, remains focused on delivering outstanding performance. The May 2019 edition of this iconic silhouette, the New Balance 990v5 Made In USA 'Black' sneaker, is a testament to American craftsmanship as it is proudly produced by skilled laborers in a factory located in New England. Its breathable mesh upper is complemented by tonal suede overlays, while the semi-transparent tongue tab showcases the distinctive 'Made in the USA' American flag label. Additionally, the shoe boasts reflective 3M accents that add a touch of style and functionality. To enhance the athletic heritage, the New Balance 990v5 incorporates a modified ENCAP midsole and Ortholite insole.
