New Balance introduces a new tonal variation of the 990v6 sneaker model with the Salmon colorway to join its roster this season. The iconic model is doused in hues of Salmon and accents of white to add some tonal contrast. The official launch date for the colorway is February 14th.
It is finished in a light orange color throughout the entire upper which is constructed from mesh and suede materials. This adds a touch of breathability at the base and then soft durability overlaying on top. The New Balance N logo marks the side with touches of purple continuing at the tongue, the insoles, and the heel. It all rests on top of the ENCP midsole made with white, black, and gray.
