TThe 990’s original designers were tasked with creating the single best running shoe on the market. The finished product more than lived up to its billing. When it hit shelves for the first time in 1982 the 990 sported an elegantly understated grey colorway, and a then unheard of three-figure price tag. For avid runners and ahead of the curve tastemakers alike, the 990 was a mark of quality and superior taste. There have been updates to the design since ’82, and more color options, but the 990’s aspirational status symbol aura has never changed. Simply put, the 990 is the shoe so good, that we’ve never stopped making it. The FuelCell 990v6 for kids brings big impact to small feet.

The name New Balance stands for quality. So it's no wonder that the brand can look back on a 100-year company history. Their slogan "a more intelligent approach to building shoes" describes the ethos of the company very aptly. New Balance sneakers are consistently designed for the best possible performance, but without disregarding the aesthetic aspect. Over the years, the brand from Boston has pursued a clear design language and was long considered a niche brand among die-hard fans. Thanks to the dad sneaker trend, New Balance sneakers have become the epitome of this style, which has increased the demand for the models from the "9 series" immensely. The 990 in particular is in the spotlight here. Made in the USA, this sneaker represents the history of New Balance like no other model. With three production sites in the USA, the UK and China, New Balance manages to provide a diverse product portfolio. In addition to the classics like the 574, 997 or the 1500, the designers are always working on new models and bringbacks from the archives. However, all products have the same basic idea in common: to deliver the perfect mix of performance and fashion. That's exactly what New Balance lovers appreciate.
