The New Balance 990v6 is a high-performance running sneaker from the New Balance 990 series designed to cater to the needs of runners and athletes. It can also be used for everyday wear. With a pigskin suede and breathable mesh upper, an ENCAP-cushioned midsole, and a rubber outsole, this shoe offers support and cushioning for your feet. You’ll find different colorways from the lineup, including bold offerings like in most New Balance collections.
A streamlined design and advanced cushioning and support, thanks to ENCAP midsole technology and FuelCell midsole cushioning, make it an excellent running shoe. The FuelCell midsole cushioning offers a propelling feel that helps push runners forward, making it easier to go faster and keep going over long distances. A durable polyurethane rim and lightweight foam used on the ENCAP midsole cushioning provides all-day support and cushioning, reducing the risk of injury. Reflective accents on this offering ensure runners are visible during low-light conditions, while a TPU back tab offers additional support and stability.
First teased in June 2021, the 990v6 was released in November 2022, debuting in a signature Grey colorway. This offering features several updates from its predecessor, the 990v5, including a remodeled upper made with premium materials, reflective detailing, and improved cushioning technology. The inclusion of FuelCell midsole cushioning, which offers a propulsive feel, makes it popular among runners. With a combination of classic design and modern technology, the New Balance 990v6 is a favorite among runners and everyday wearers, as well.
