New Balance 990v3 | Grey White | M990CH6 | Made in USA

The Original Grey. The President's Shoe.

The New Balance 990v3 (M990CH6) in Grey/White is the colorway that started it all. When New Balance introduced the 990 in 1982 as the world’s most expensive running shoe, it came in grey — and that choice was deliberate. Grey was the color of seriousness, of function over fashion, of a shoe that had nothing to prove. Over four decades later, the 990v3 in Grey/White remains the definitive expression of that philosophy: light grey pigskin suede panels, breathable grey mesh, a tonal grey “N” logo, and the series’ signature ENCAP midsole. Made in the USA. Worn by presidents. The standard by which all other sneakers are measured.

The 990 Legacy

The New Balance 990 is not a trend. It is a standard. Introduced in 1982 at $100 — double the price of any other running shoe at the time — the 990 series has spent over four decades earning its reputation as the benchmark for American craftsmanship, technical performance, and understated style. The v3 is widely considered the purest expression of the 990 formula. The Grey/White colorway is the 990 at its most essential — the version that belongs in every wardrobe, for every occasion, forever.
