The made-in-USA New Balance 990v2 was first released in 1998, 16 years after its predecessor, the 990v1. The v2’s new design language went on to inform the look of the 990v3 and the 990v4. At the time, updates included new ABZORB cushioning and a more technical upper. Collaborators like Aimé Leon Dore and WTAPS have reworked the silhouette in recent years, while key colorways include the “Desert Heat” and “Winter Peaks” versions.
