New Balance continues to thrive with Teddy Santis as the brand’s creative director. As part of the Made in USA Season 2 collection, Santis gathers some of the most iconic New Balance MiUS models. This includes the 990v3, the shoe responsible for the dad shoe trend in the early years of the 2010s. The New Balance Made in USA 990v3 “Green Gold” showcases nature-inspired tones of Green and Gold for a fresh makeover.
We now have 6 total versions of the New Balance 990, each offering a unique design of its own. The 990v3 may be the most recognisable pair as the shoe came out at the perfect time. It’s still here and it’s not going anywhere anytime soon!
In 1982, the New Balance 990 became the first running shoe to hit the $100 mark. It was a completely different time back then. Mostly because today you probably couldn’t find a good running trainer below that price. The New Balance 990v3 came out 30 years after the first version launched, and this shoe popularised an unexpected sneaker trend. Yes, we’re exactly talking about the dad shoe trend.
The 990v3 flexed a low-cut construction with typical N logos on the sides and a chunky sole. When dads approved of this shoe, even the younger generations got intrigued!
This New Balance Made in USA 990v3 “Green Gold” features a Green mesh base with Dark Green suede overlays. Gold accents adorn the N logos on the sides while the ENCAP foam midsole appears with a Sail White hue to achieve the vintage look.
This sensational sneaker becomes available this April 2023 on New Balance.
