990VS2 Mesh And Suede Trainers

In the lead-up to the 40th anniversary of New Balance's cult-followed 990 runners, these taupe suede 990VS2 trainers are released as part of the MADE Version Series collection – noted by the red side tabs. They're crafted in the USA with mesh panels and logo embroidery and appliqués, then set on a cushioned ENCAP and ABZORB dual midsole and gripped rubber outsole.

A classic on the sportswear scene that started out selling arch supports to police officers and waiters in the early 1900s, New Balance has re-emerged as a fashion must-have in recent years and, with stylish collaborations from J.Crew to Stone Island, the iconic sneakers are going nowhere.
