The New Balance 990v3, originally introduced in 2012, is a lifestyle runner that exemplifies traditional mesh and pigskin suede craftsmanship. This particular edition, appropriately named 'Black', maintains the sneaker's classic construction while adding subtle contemporary details. The monochromatic black colorway is offset by reflective grey accents on the iconic 'N' logo, as well as a synthetic leather heel tab showcasing the 'Made in USA' branding. Furthermore, the tongue proudly presents the 'New Balance' logo embossed in vibrant red lettering, creating a striking contrast. Built for both style and comfort, the 990v3 features an ENCAP midsole, consisting of a soft foam core and a durable polyurethane carrier, providing lightweight cushioning.
