The workwear brand Carhartt and its lifestyle subdivision Carhartt WIP have continued to lean into the streetwear world through collaborations across the industry. After recently releasing a set of Carhartt WIP x Converse silhouettes, the brand is bringing its rugged aesthetic to the New Balance 990v1 “Made In USA.”
A suede and mesh combo remains present with Carhartt WIP choosing to raise the suede's nap to an 11/10, creating a worn-in scruffy finish along with the navy-colored overlays throughout. Its mesh base stays true to classic New Balance colorways, coming in grey while the N branding on the midfoot follows suit in a 3M reflective silver with a white trim underneath. Carhartt WIP makes an appearance on the right sneakers tongue tag and the left sneakers heel overlay through the brands' logo. A tan-colored sockliner and insole break up the two-tone look seen throughout, utilizing Carhartt’s distinct color palette. Rounding out the look is the Vibram cushioned white midsole and black rubber outsole with a solo hit of tan on the heel.
The Carhartt WIP x New Balance 990v1 has already seen a release through Foot District in the UK with a wider release going down on September 16th, 2022. Coming in men’s sizing, the retail price is set at $225.
