New Balance W990GL6 Opt Control

The makers of the initial 990 were given the task of creating the ultimate running shoe on the market. The USA-made 990v6 upholds this original mission with a range of performance-oriented upgrades. The upper ditches the traditional midfoot saddle, allowing the pigskin and synthetic overlays to flow seamlessly from heel to toe across the mesh underlay, resulting in a swift and streamlined appearance. Although the updated design is one of the most significant transformations from one generation model to the next in the history of the 990, the most significant progress occurs on the inside. The inclusion of FuelCell midsole cushioning means that the evolution of the 990 can be both seen and felt. More than 70% of New Balance MADE products are domestically produced, making up only a small portion of the company's sales in the US.
