Matt Varga Updated July 1st, 2025: The New Balance 990v6 “Molten Lava” is now available on NewBalance.com and select retailers for $200.
New Balance has a monopoly on neutral shades, but don’t sleep on their ability to break out of those sepia-toned or steely hallmarks every once in a while. The more time passes, the more it seems like the Boston brand has gotten comfortably breaking from type in this way, and the New Balance 990v6 “Community Red” showcases just that development.

Surfacing early via brick-and-mortar retailers, the fiery pair at hand appears to be one of three in a united color-blocked set, each wearing near-identical layouts but swapping their accent shades across the pack. For the shoe at hand, the bright red suede easily marks this pair as the trio’s most attention-grabbing, further tying its mudguard and eyelets into a cohesive whole with swatches in the out/midsole and a primary color lace option.
The branching leather overlays between said suede panels and a reliable light grey mesh foundation serve as a bridge between each, sporting pale pink. For one closing hit on that side of the color wheel, deep burgundy takes up much of the midsole. Be it in this novel layout or the sheer visibility of the “Community Red” at play, it’s another moment where the New Balance 990v6 is a willing attendant of statement flair, already well-established with the work of Action Bronson and Joe Freshgoods.
Expect the New Balance 990v6 “Community Red” to populate partnering stockists and NewBalance.com in the coming weeks. Expect a $200 retail price upon arrival.
