First released in 1982, New Balance has updated to the 990V5, a modern and updated take on the timeless running silhouette that made waves over three decades ago. As the first athletic sneaker to break the $150 price barrier, the original 990 debuted as the most enduring technical running series on the market.

The updated New Balance 990v5, maintains the iconic style of the original with an emphasis on more refined construction and design.

As its name suggests, the 990v5 is the fifth iteration of the 990, and while it may look similar to its 990v4 predecessor, the continued evolution of this OG dad shoe adds a TPU “power strap,” new Ortholite insert, and modern badging on the tongue and foxing for a refreshing take on a modern classic.
