TThe 990’s original designers were tasked with creating the single best running shoe on the market. The finished product more than lived up to its billing. When it hit shelves for the first time in 1982 the 990 sported an elegantly understated grey colorway, and a then unheard of three-figure price tag. For avid runners and ahead of the curve tastemakers alike, the 990 was a mark of quality and superior taste. There have been updates to the design since ’82, and more color options, but the 990’s aspirational status symbol aura has never changed. Simply put, the 990 is the shoe so good, that we’ve never stopped making it. The FuelCell 990v6 for kids brings big impact to small feet.

For more than 100 years, New Balance has stood for uncompromising quality and innovation. Guided by the ethos “a more intelligent approach to building shoes,” the Boston-born brand has mastered the balance of performance and design.
Originally a cult favorite among die-hard sneaker fans, New Balance has surged into the mainstream with the rise of the dad sneaker trend—cementing models from the iconic “9 Series” at the center of sneaker culture. The legendary 990, proudly made in the USA, remains a flagship style and a true symbol of the brand’s heritage.
With production facilities in the U.S., U.K., and China, New Balance offers a global yet versatile portfolio. From timeless silhouettes like the 574, 997, and 1500 to innovative new releases and archival bringbacks, each pair reflects the same philosophy: the perfect blend of performance and fashion.
