In September 2019, Engineered Garments and New Balance collaborated to unveil an exclusive 990v5 showcasing the unique touch and American streetwear inspiration of the Japanese brand. The limited-edition sneaker features a sleek monochromatic navy design, incorporating a premium combination of materials in its upper construction, along with mismatched laces and distinctive 'N' patches. Further enhancing the authenticity of this joint venture, a rubberized tongue tag and co-branded insole can be found, providing unequivocal evidence of the partnership. The Encap-supported midsole and rubber outsole perfectly complement the overall styling of this remarkable collaboration.
