The New Balance MADE in USA 990v6 in black/white fully embraces this original objective by incorporating a series of performance-oriented enhancements. In this latest version, the traditional midfoot saddle is eliminated from the upper, allowing the pigskin and synthetic overlays to seamlessly extend from heel to toe over the mesh underlay. This modification results in a swift and sleek appearance. While this updated design represents one of the most significant transformations the black/white New Balance USA 990v6 sneaker series has ever undergone from one generation to the next, the most substantial leap forward is experienced from within. The integration of FuelCell midsole cushioning means that the evolution of the 990 is not just visible but also palpable in terms of improved performance.
