Teddy Santis x New Balance 990v6 Made in USA "Inkwell" U990IA6

The 990v6 keeps evolving, and Teddy Santis continues to steer it in the right direction. With the “Inkwell” colourway, he gives the Made in USA icon a darker tone without losing its lifestyle appeal. Deep navy blends with black across the upper, while grey and white midsoles round out that signature New Balance look. And yes, it’s still proudly in dad shoe territory—but sharper, leaner, and more current.

This version skips the usual midfoot saddle, letting the overlays run smoothly from heel to toe. That small change gives the shoe a cleaner silhouette. The upper mixes mesh and suede—staples for the 990 line—but flows more like a runner than earlier builds. Yellow hits on the heel add just enough pop to break up the darker shades.

Comfort hasn’t taken a back seat. New Balance added FuelCell cushioning to the midsole, giving the 990v6 its biggest performance jump yet. It’s soft underfoot, with enough bounce to keep things lively without overdoing it. The three-tone midsole—white, grey, off-white—balances well with the upper. It’s a shoe you can wear daily without thinking twice.

The “Inkwell” fits right into the Seasonal Collection. It’s low-key, versatile, and built for rotation. Whether you’re pairing it with sweats or relaxed denim, it won’t miss.
