- The pair is expected to hit shelves on October 30
- Retail is set at $200
Sure, the 990v6 might be the newest chapter in New Balance’s iconic 99X lineage, but it doesn’t just build on its predecessors – it elevates everything that made the past five generations so timeless. If, for some reason, you still don’t have a pair in your rotation, the upcoming New Balance 990v6 Made in USA Driftwood Timberwolf might finally be the one to change that.
Dressed in an earthy, autumn-ready palette, this 990v6 sits atop a creamy timberwolf mesh base with panels of perforated leather along the sidewalls and buttery driftwood suede wrapping around the upper for a premium finish.
Crisp white cotton laces pull everything together, while the oversized “N” logo makes a bold statement on each flank. Around the heel, a soft pale yellow tab printed with the stars and stripes proudly nods to its American craftsmanship – a hallmark of NB’s legendary Made in USA series.
