990v2 Release Dates
The 990v2, New Balance's updated version of the 990v1, was released in 1998. It took 16 years for New Balance to redesign their 990v1, but for good reason. In that time span, New Balance released the following models: 995 (1986), 996 (1988), 997 (1991), 998 (1993), and 999 (1996). While the models were new, they all resembled the 990v1. This resulted with a revamped upper on the 990v2 and the inclusion of an ABZORB midsole. Follow up with New Balance 990v2 collaborations with Aimé Leon Dore, Teddy Santis, and Kith here.
Introduced in 1998 as the second iteration in the iconic 990 series, the New Balance 990v2 revolutionized the sneaker world with its advanced technology and superior comfort. This model embodied New Balance's commitment to functionality and quality, setting a new standard for running shoes that also work as lifestyle sneakers.
Crafted with a pigskin and mesh upper for durability and breathability, the 990v2 features an ABZORB midsole, providing exceptional shock absorption. The 'Made in USA' branding on the tongue signifies its high-quality craftsmanship.
The shoe's signature grey colorway has been a fan-favorite over the years, but it also comes in various other hues. The 'Navy' and 'Black' versions are particularly popular, offering sleek alternatives to the traditional grey.
Since its initial launch, the 990v2 has seen a resurgence due to a growing appreciation for 'dad shoes' and retro runners. It's been reissued multiple times, with special editions and collaborations bringing added excitement. Whether for running or styling, the New Balance 990v2 is a reliable choice that combines performance and aesthetics. Depending on the specific edition, the retail price ranges from $175 to $200.
