The latest collection of Made in USA editions of New Balance silhouettes with a theme of American heritage is the “Mid-Century Modern” pack, which includes this ultra-premium edition of the 990. Inspired by the Mid-Century Modern interior design and architecture movement of the 1950’s and early ’60’s, the 990 features a color palette referencing the hues used during that period, as well as a premium textile base matching the tan nubuck upper. Elsewhere, Horween leather is found applied to the heel tabs and “N” logos, and the signature chunky midsole with a Vibram outsole finishes them off. The New Balance 990 “Mid-Century Modern” is arriving now at finer sneaker shops like UBIQ.
