New Balance delivers a new tonal iteration of the 990v3 sneaker model for the season with the latest green and yellow colorway palette. The shoes are made from a blend of materials across the upper as the top half is designed with premium pigskin suede, hairy suede, and mesh materials.
Most of these are detailed with a bright green touch and then yellow is applied to add a brighter pop of contrast. This can be seen in the form of the N logo on the side of the shoe and white makes up the interior lining and the laces over the forefoot. Additional branding details the tongue in a red font and 990 accents the lateral heel.
