Introducing the New Balance 990
When it launched in 1982, the New Balance 990 was considered one of the most innovative running shoes of its era, quickly earning a reputation among serious athletes.
Its design is defined by distinctive details that have made it both iconic and enduring. Crafted from premium materials, typically a mix of breathable mesh and pigskin suede overlays, the 990 offers durability, ventilation, and a refined look.
At its foundation is New Balance’s signature ENCAP midsole technology, which pairs a supportive polyurethane rim with a soft EVA core. The result is outstanding shock absorption, stability, and long-lasting comfort, making the 990 a performance shoe with timeless appeal.
