The New Balance 990v4, which debuted in 2016, is the fourth version of the New Balance 990 sneakers, a line of shoes that debuted over 40 years ago. This high-performance running shoe has gotten some technological and aesthetic updates over the years, resulting in the 990v4.
These sneakers feature some of the original elements of the 990 sneaker, such as the mesh upper adorned with reflective overlays for visibility. This safety feature is a core mark of this line. For comfort, the shoe contains an ENCAP sole unit and EVA cushioning core. The New Balance 990v4 also contains suede overlays on the midsole, heel, and toe box and comes in a variety of colorways, including the classic Made in USA Grey Silver and burgundy. All colorways of this sneaker feature the New Balance "N" on the midsole. Occasionally, you can find iterations of this sneaker that have higher ankles, such as in the mid-top designs.
The New Balance 990v4 also has seen a lot of collaborations with other designers in the footwear space, such as Stussy, DTLR, Kith, and more. Those looking for these iconic collaborations can check out the DTLR Stars and Stripes, which comes in a sleek black, gray, and red colorway.
