The Teddy Santis-helmed Made in USA line from New Balance had a stellar 2024. The label brought back some models from the archive, notably the 997, and pushed forward with new colorways of the latest 99X sneaker, the 990v6. While we all await the drop of Action Bronson’s two new 990v6 colorways, previews of a pair likely part of Santis’ Season 7 Made in USA collection have appeared.
Taking on classic neutral colors often associated with the Boston-based footwear brand, this Light Mushroom Moonrock 990v6 features premium materials and clean colorblocking. Light grey shades line the smooth leather panels around the mudguard, midfoot, eyestays, and heel overlay, while perforated nubuck in a similar tone is present along the toebox. A darker grey color is used for the collar overlay, contrasting with the light cream N logo on the midfoot.
