The New Balance 990v6 “Black Grey” is a Monochrome Masterpiece

New Balance’s Made in USA series continues to roll out strong colourways, and the New Balance 990v6 “Black Grey” brings a little extra polish to the table – literally. At first glance, it’s a familiar formula: mesh underlays, suede overlays, and that iconic mix of black and grey that’s become synonymous with the brand’s heritage line. But a closer look reveals glossy patent accents that catch the light without screaming for attention.

It’s a subtle shift that works. The black mesh base keeps things breathable and grounded, while the grey pigskin suede overlays add the texture and depth that the Boston brand is known for. Glossy black hits sit quietly over the midfoot and heel, elevating the finish without overpowering the 990v6’s overall tone. Reflective detailing gives it just the right amount of visibility in low light.

Beneath all that, it’s still the same reliable runner. The midsole houses ENCAP tech paired with FuelCell cushioning for that soft, springy feel underfoot. Whether you’re clocking miles or strolling to the café, it’s comfortable, supportive, and stable enough to wear all day.

While some pairs aim for loud statements, the New Balance 990v6 “Black Grey” proves you don’t need to shout to stand out. Expect it to drop within the coming weeks. Let us know if you’ll be adding these to your rotation, and be sure to keep it locked for your best chance to secure your size!
