When the original 990 was conceived, NB’s designers were tasked with creating the best running shoe on the market. The Made in USA 990v6 continues that mission with performance-driven updates that push the legacy forward.
The upper forgoes the traditional midfoot saddle, allowing suede and synthetic overlays to flow seamlessly from heel to toe across a breathable mesh base — creating a faster, more aerodynamic look. While the evolved design marks one of the most dramatic generational shifts in the 990’s history, the real leap happens inside: the addition of FuelCell cushioning in the midsole delivers a responsive, energetic feel you can sense with every stride.
Part of the Made in USA Seasonal Collection, this edition features a lightweight neutral mesh upper accented with dark grey suede and synthetic overlays — a refined evolution of a true icon.
