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

The Original. The Standard. The 990.

The New Balance 990v3 (M990CH6) in Navy/Grey is the shoe that defined what a premium running sneaker could be — and still does. First introduced in 1982 as the most expensive running shoe on the market, the 990 series has spent over four decades earning its reputation as the benchmark for American craftsmanship, technical performance, and understated style. The v3 iteration refines the formula with a deep navy suede and mesh upper, a silver “N” logo, and the series’ signature ENCAP midsole technology. Made in the USA. Worn by presidents. Loved by everyone who knows.

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 was engineered to be the best, not the most popular. Over six generations, it has remained true to that mission: Made in the USA, built for performance, and worn by everyone from marathon runners to Steve Jobs to the current occupant of the White House. The v3 is widely considered the purest expression of the 990 formula — the version that gets everything right.
