Sneaker News Teddy Santis didn’t save New Balance, but he’s helped acquire a certain cachet for the brand over the last several years. As creative director for the brand’s Made in USA program, the New York-native continues this trend, breathing new life to designs like the NB 990v3.
Ahead of spring, the ENCAP cushioned model appeared in an eye-catching green and yellow color combination. Vastly different from the grey with which the New Balance 990v3 debuted, the arrangement covers the premium pig suede and breathable mesh with a clover-like hue. Logos on the sides deliver stark sun-like contrast. The Aimé Leon Dore frontman applies a black tone to the tongue and Achilles’ heel, leaving nearby “990” branding in grey. Below, the reliable shock-absorbing sole unit favors an “aged” look that’s in line with other work from Santis.
A firm newbalance.com release date hasn’t been disclosed by the brand, but the pair is expected to arrive in March. While you wait, enjoy detailed photos of the sneakers ahead.
