Teddy Santis x New Balance 990v6 Made in USA "Light Mushroom Moonrock" U990MM6

Teddy Santis continues to refine the 990 series with the 990v6 “Light Mushroom Moonrock”, part of the latest Made in USA Seasonal Collection. This version keeps the craftsmanship tight but moves the design forward with understated tonal choices and a streamlined structure. It’s subtle, but it’s smart—and it delivers both visual balance and technical updates.

The upper combines a soft tan shade (“Light Mushroom”) with a cool grey mesh (“Moonrock”) underlay. Leather and suede overlays run across the panels without interruption, thanks to the removal of the traditional midfoot saddle. This adjustment gives the shoe a sleeker shape while still holding the structure needed for daily wear. A pale blue tag on the tongue breaks the tone gently, offering one point of visual contrast.

On the inside, New Balance makes its biggest change. FuelCell midsole cushioning replaces older foam setups, adding more responsiveness and bounce underfoot. It feels quicker, lighter, and more fluid than previous versions. The outsole remains supportive and grippy, keeping the base stable and comfortable over long periods.

While Teddy Santis has introduced more colour in other pairs, this release stays grounded in New Balance’s neutral palette. It wears easily, especially with softer autumn tones or pared-back spring outfits. Whether you’re into the performance upgrades or drawn to the clean design, this pair brings something extra without trying too hard.
