New Balance introduces a new tonal iteration of the retro '990v6 MADE in USA' sneaker model with a palette of white and Sea Salt. The model is set to launch on April 10th and can be purchased online at New Balance. The brand continues to grow its work alongside Teddy Santis to expand some of the most popular silhouettes by the brand.
The silhouette is doused in an all-white color to embrace a clean and crisp look for the summer months ahead. The silhouette starts with a white mesh base foundation for a breathable feel. It is then layered with cream colors overlaying on top with an off-white mudguard. The model has a slight pop of red at the tag.
