Regal Tonal Lifestyle Sneakers

New Balance Adorns the 990v5 Sneaker in Black and Gold Detailing

New Balance introduces a new tonal iteration of the notable 990v5 sneaker model for the season, taking on a more regal angle. The latest palette is rooted in deep black and gold details for an elevated look for the season.

Just in time for the Autumn season, the shoe is adorned in black at the base foundation applied with mesh underlying accents and nubuck overlays on top. The solid black covers the heel, the toe tip, and the mid-foot section, following through to the interior lining, the tongue, mesh toe boxes, and the plastic heel molds as well. At a closer look, the N logo on the side is marked with a premium crocodile skin touch before gold details round it all out.
